Well let’s see what the ACC sixth man of the year who put up 9 PPG 4 RPG and 1 BPG can be. At least he’s only 19.

All these fans crying about him being a 7-10 pick. Judge him after he plays a few years along with the rest of this class.

Well Pistons saved themselves from embarassment. But they couldnt save Bulls in process from doing same. :lol:

Looks like Devin Booker didn't start either, but at #13 and for a stacked Kentucky team so not as crazy.

I don't see the next picks like Okoro and Okongwu any more special. Maybe the biggest surprise is the Israeli kid fall beyond 4th. I thought we're going to pick him.

I'd have to imagine there is a medical concern regarding Deni, or he had absolutely bad workouts.

I’m on board for the complete tank next year.

This sucks. We move up in lottery only to miss out on the top 3. And then take a guy that values around 7-10. Just blows.

LaVine?

I was thinking more of a wing.

I hope he has a better career than Marvin Williams....

Unfortunately in this draft Marvin Williams - a long time starter - might be great value at 4.

Considering the Spurs and Pistons liked him I am cool with it. When the Spurs want the guy you drafted there must be something to him.

I think it might have been Zach Lavine. IIRC he didn't start either.

yeah it took what 3 years to become a regular contributor

Nobody knows. Don't be upset until you see the guy play.

Jesus... I would rather have the 7th pick...

This is the absolute furthest thing from a Garpax pick lol

Garpax have a good drafting record so not even sure this is an insult

Their last good pick was Butler in 2011. Ok MAYBE coby the jury still out on that one.

This is like getting Marcus Fizer at #4

Detroit was trying like hell to move up to #3 to get him.

Very odd choice.

Hopefully he pans out for us though.

Dion Waiters, he was a 6th man in Syracuse

Best case: Pacal Siakam

Mid-case: Jeremi Grant / Thad Young

Low case: RHJ

More a 4 than a 3, by far. Big up and downside spread. Does not really fill a need.

How is drafting a thin 6'8" 225lb 19 year old at all similar to getting a fat 22 year old? :crazy:

Has anyone in Detroit management actually confirmed that?
