Detroit Pistons: 2-big lineup experiment bombing so far

Miller going #2 wouldn't shock me at all. Luka had one of the greatest pre-draft resumes in the history of the draft and still went #3 behind Ayton and Bagley. GM's screw up all the time.

Banchero seems to have recovered a bit from his disastrous February and will hold onto ROY. But man are Jalen Williams and Walker Kessler making a run. Kessler in March so far is averaging 12 and 11 while shooting 83% from the field. He is averaging just over 3 blocks per game. He posted similar numbers in Febraury. Williams has upped his game a bit. Scoring 22 PPG, 5 rebounds, 5 assists per game. Shooting 58/56/68 while playing really strong defense. Something to think about as the draft approaches. 2 of the top 3 rookies this year were drafted outside of the top 10.

In the four games since I insulted Jabari Smith Jr. He has averaged 20 PPG, 10 RPG and shooting 57% from the field and 56% from three.

Sebring is this weekend.

Bagley is part of a trial program testing out shorter work weeks.

That is a weigh off of my mind.

Imagine paying money for this ticket?

Whenever I turn on a Pistons game I think nothing can be worse than this. Then I watch college basketball and think, oh yes it can.

Brilliant.

He makes Luka look like Ben Wallace. https://streamable.com/soe09h

Hali is averaging 20 PPG, 10 APG, 1.6 steals per game, on 40% shooting from three and 62% TS%. Weave passed on him to take Hayes.

One time in college and I'm labeled for life.

Philly came back from 21 down to win. Someone hurry up and fire Billups.

Right over the middle linebacker.

Not sure what it would take but I would like to get another pick around 10 and take Gradey Dick.

Lonzo Ball is a good one. Shot 25% (72% FT) in Australia and is now about a 37-38% 3PT shooter. From that same draft you could look at Anthony Edwards. 29% at Georgia and is shooting 37% this year.

A lot of concern about his jump shot, especially with that lower FT%. But he possesses elite skills you cant teach and most think you can teach shooting. Fox is another guy who is making it work without shooting, but lets see how he does in the playoffs first.

Scoot ends up as the best player in this class when its said and done. Although, we probably shouldn't listen to Vecenie when it comes to Ivey or Scoot. As much as I like Sam, he is infatuated with athletic guards. He had Suggs as the #2 player on his board that year.

Yeah, three would be a huge disappointment. I think you consider trading back if you end up at #3. You can get the same player at 9 or 10 that you can at 3. Might as well get a pick or other assets out of it.

Vecenie did a big board. He said Victor and Scoot are tier 1. His tier 2 goes down to #10 or #11. https://theathletic.com/4282988/2023/03/09/nba-draft-big-board-2023-wembanyama-whitmore/ 1 Victor Wembanyama Metropolitans 92 C 19 7-4 2 Scoot Henderson G League Ignite G 19 6-2 3 Brandon Miller Alabama F 20 6-9 4 Amen Thompson Overtime Elite G 20 6-7 5 Cam Whitmore Villanova W 18 6-7 6 Ausar Thompson Overtime Elite W 20 6-7 7 Jarace Walker Houston F 19 6-8 8 Anthony Black Arkansas G/W 19 6-7 9 Gradey Dick Kansas W 19 6-7 10 Cason Wallace Kentucky G 19
