Hendricks won’t go past 10. C’mon Troy, go get it.
-
Coulibaly selected for the Wizards, one pick back. Interesting to move up one pick and give up assets even though Pacers were always taking Walker or Hendricks. Wizards just keep showing their stupidity.
-
Agreed on Scoot. Ausar has been that way in every interview I’ve seen. Seems like a quiet kid that just works and has high character.
-
Wow, Pacers reached. Things just got crazy.
-
The pseudo-rivalry between Houston and Detroit continues. I hope we got the better twin.
-
Hope he can get that shot together. Worst case I guess we drafted Hami’s replacement.
-
Amen on the phone with his agent right now. He’s going to be the pick.
-
And now the draft begins.
-
Miller goes 2! Decision time, Portland.
-
So glad they don’t have Perkins on here again.
-
We shouldn’t have to wait 5 minutes for this pick. They’ve had a month. It’s Wemby.
-
Wow. D*cks suit is baaaad. Scoot’s out there looking like a rapper, all the way to the diamond teeth.
-
ESPN big board (Jay Bills) scrolling on the bottom of the screen with Whitmore at 4 and Hendricks at 6. The names rumored for the pistons are at 8 (Ausar) and 10 (Walker).
-
If the pistons were hoping to move down on draft night this Washington stuff actually hurts us. Everyone thought they were a lock to take Black, and the rumor was that Utah wanted to move up in front of them to get him. Well, they now have Tyus and Poole in the backcourt so they’re probably not taking Black. Utah no longer needs to move up. Even worse, Washington could be looking at a big man like Hendricks now, which means he wouldn’t be available at 9 anyway.
-
Golden State so happy they found a front office dumb enough to take on Poole’s terrible contract. Perfect player for tanking team.

D*ck is a little taller with a little better wingspan. Also, you hope he isn't injured all the time. But you're right, I see the same thing. Luke Kennard led the NBA in 3 point percentage last year but you couldn't keep him on the court because he was such a liability on defense, especially in the playoffs. If you watch D*ck's college games you can see how he was hunted on defense as well. I think there's a place for him in the NBA, but I'm not sure about the ceiling as a starter, particularly in the playoffs where teams hunt mismatches. I'm also not sure about him on the Pistons who can't afford to have any more poor defenders and don't have the type of star gravity that would get him open shots all day. There's certainly a point where you take him because of the elite shooting, but I'm not reaching for D*ck 🙂

Kind of reminds me of the Pistons previous era. Should've traded Dre long before they did (not that he was as good as either Beal or Porzingis), but instead they doubled down on a team everyone knew was mediocre. By the time Gores let them rebuild, all they got was a second round pick to start the rebuild. Makes you envious of teams like OKC and Houston that started their rebuilds with a ton of draft assets.
-
I'd be happy with Sasser as our backup PG. Maybe a draft night Killian dump for a future second? Or send him to Utah/Dallas as throw in with one of those first round trades that have been discussed.
-
Is there anyone James hasn’t mentioned in the past two weeks? He’s pretty much covered anyone going 3 through 17.
-
At 9, one of the same group we're all talking about will still be there. Orlando takes Ausar or Whitmore (whoever wasn't taken at 5). Washington is going to take Black. That leaves us with either Walker or Hendricks (whoever Indy didn't take). Either way you've upgraded your defense and maybe didn't lose any shooting if you got Hendricks. Then there are a number of ways you could go with #10. D*ck would be solid for more shooting (and more bad defense) or Coulibaly could be an interesting project here since this is a bonus pick.
-
I like that scenario a lot.
-
If I was Charlotte, I'd probably just draft Scoot. On the other hand, if you're Portland and Scoot falls to you, you pretty much have to make the deal for Zion. They've put all their eggs in the Dame basket and this is the most realistic shot they have at getting a superstar next to him. Huge risk that he doesn't play, but if you're not going to do the right thing and blow it up, then you have no choice. The other option is they do a last second 180 if Scoot falls and decide to move Dame while they can still get a haul for him, which would be the right move.

I actually listened to that podcast with Vecenie and JEIII where Edwards talks about Jarace or the Twins being the likely pick. 1) He says no less than 5 times that he's not sure if he's being used as a smokescreen. 2) Then Vecenie goes on for 10 minutes straight about how Walker is literally the worst pick of the bunch for Detroit, followed by the Twins. He says that he's taking Whitmore as fast as possible if he's there at 5 and if not, then he's trading down for the best fit which is Hendricks at 7 (because he may not fall past Indy) or whoever remains at #9 (if you're sure Washington is taking Black). Remember last year when all the pre-draft talk from JEIII was about how much the Pistons loved Murray and Mathurin? But, who did they draft? Ivey. This year, who have we heard the most about from JEIII? Walker and the Twins, who we know are coveted by Orlando and Indy respectively. My guess is that this front office is trade shopping.

Welcome to the crazy week of smokescreens. 🙄 Thursday can't come soon enough.

She's been posting so much stuff non-stop. It's been going on for weeks now since he posted something about a kid he has with another girl. Everything from talking about 100K allowances to spitting in her mouth.
