    I can't listen to Chad Ford. Amazes me he still has a job after what he did. But it will be a disaster if someone takes Ivey #1. I did get a laugh from KOC saying Orlando should take Ivey. Nevermind Suggs, Fultz, and Anthony I guess. I guess him and Suggs could battle it out. First one to shoot 30% from three can start.

    KOC might be the worst draft analyst on earth. He is the one who had Killian #1 on his board that draft year. While I do disagree on a few guys here, I don't see much out of line. https://nbadraft.theringer.com/mock-draft

    A year ago I thought he made a huge mistake going to Ferrari. Probably my favorite driver on the grid. Sainz 'extremely close' to signing new Ferrari deal

    Easy to see why GSW isn't interested in trading him.

    It was a pretty dumb rule to begin with. He was able to sit front row and watch the game, but not play. Picture of him sitting front row at a game he could not play in.

    Haslem is a god in Miami and Jimmy, well he has shown in the past he might not be the best guy to lead a team. https://streamable.com/mgiaol

    Chicago is 0-16 against the top 3 seeds in each conference.

    He doesn't necessarily have to be quick enough to guard someone. He has to be good enough on offense to punish teams that go small. That is the problem in Utah with Gobert. He doesn't have the offensive game to counter teams that go small.

    I would not like that at all Chet has one elite skill and that is shot blocking. Moving him to the perimeter would negate that skill. Plus I'm not quite sure his three-point shooting will hold up enough to be a perimeter player. Also not sure he can guard guys in the perimeter like Mobley can.

    My draft strategy is no Chet no Ivey.

    There are a few guys that could potentially be stars in this draft. But there are no guys like last year where I was confident they will be stars, like Cade, Green, and Mobley. That doesn't make it a bad draft. Just look at last year outside of the big 3. Guys who are already doing more than expected like Barnes, Giddey, and Wagner. And he isn't there yet because he was always a three year project, bug Kuminga is further ahead than expected. So you will probably get a couple of guys that pop from this draft. It might just be more difficult to find them. James Edwards III wrote an article for The Athletic saying the Pistons big board in order is Chet, Jabari, Keegan Murray, Paolo, Ivey, Griffin, and Mathurin.

    Luka has been over 4 TO's the past 3 years. We need to be more forgiving when a bigger nontraditional type is playing PG.

    It probably doesn't impact Detroit at all. But Portland announced they are shutting Dame down for the remained of the season.
  16. Deleterious
    That is pretty cool.

    The Pistons should be concentrating on one thing in this draft and that is shooting. Do not draft anyone that can't stroke it at a decent rate. We have our star now surround him players that will punish opposing teams for doubling him. The Pistons are currently the second worst 3PT shooting team in the league at 32.9%. It gets worse. On 3PTA's where the closest defender is 6+ feet away, basically a wide open 3PTA, they are dead last in the league at 33.9%.

    5 to 7 is where you start to look at guys like Ivey. Possibly Keegan Murray or AJ Griffin.

    Most professional gamblers don't make the majority of their money strictly on knowing who the better team is/isn't. The find exploits like listed above and hammer them until books fix them. A guy named Spanky hosts a gambling podcast. He told a story of finding an exploit before the internet existed. Books in AC were not taking into account weather for MLB O/U lines. So his group had someone at each MLB stadium and all they did was call in with the wind report. If it was blowing out that day, they took the over. Blowing in and they took the under. He said they made a fortune until the books caught on and fixed it.

    I laughed when they picked Barnes. I was pretty sad when Giddey got hurt. He had really come on strong the past few months. Cade wont win ROY and that is fine. I'm 100% content with the pick.
  21. Deleterious
    Probably somewhere in-between. He has some legit skills but I wonder if his frame will ever let him showcase them in the NBA. Look at Mobley and how much he struggles with heavier centers right now. I don't mean Embiid or Jokic, I'm talking average guys like Horford. And Mobley has a good 20 pounds on Chet. Plus Mobley is in a totally different universe when it comes to perimeter mobility. When Cleveland is completely healthy he is guarding the opposing teams SF every night. That is pretty crazy for a legit seven footer.

    He would have been if he was born 30 years earlier. Teams don't value his skillset as much as they do a perimeter guy. He cant shoot the three, will never be a defensive anchor and his back to the basket game will slow your offense to a crawl. His midrange is nice, but that is the worst spot on the floor to take a shot from. Not a bad player. Just born in the wrong era.
  23. Deleterious
    Not a huge fan of Ivey in the top 5. Not great size, not much of a handle, low BBIQ. Gets tunnel vision a bit and just tries to get to the hoop no matter what, and I understand that with his athletic ability. He shot below 30% from three in Big Ten play. Doesn't play much defense. I like him better if Detroit falls a bit.

    Shaedon Sharpe is the wildcard in this draft. Attends Kentucky, and attends is the key word there. He reclassified to enroll early and hasn't played. Nobody knows if he will be eligible for the draft and nobody knows if he will declare even if he is. He would jump into my top 3 if he is eligible and he declares. Sam Vecenie currently has him at #5 on his big board. Here is some things he says about him. What’s next for Kentucky, Shaedon Sharpe with NBA Draft decision looming?

    My always fluid top 3: 1)Jabari Smith - Excellent defender who can guard the 3/4 and switch 1-4. That is a big skill in todays perimeter happy game. Also shoots 42% from three on high volume, 5.5 attempts per game. Has some warts though, like all of this years prospects. His is a total lack of game going to the rim. Zero handle, I mean he barely even dribbles. 2) Bennedict Mathurin - This wont be popular at all. But we are trying to predict who is the best player 5 years from now, not today. He has that size you want in a wing at 6'7" 195 pounds. Athletic and explosive. Only shooting 37% from three which isn't very good for college. But he has a really pretty jump shot. He takes some bad/forced shots being the teams #1 option. Clean that up and the shooting% goes up a bit. Knock on him is he isn't the hottest defender and can not create for others. He is a good shot creator for himself though and an excellent cutter. Moves extremely well off the ball. He will get Cade another assist or two each game just with his cutting. Did I mention explosive? 3 - Nobody, yet. You could put 5 different guys here. All have intriguing upside and all have massive bust potential.
