SF prospects in the upcomming draft

Warspite · Post #21 » by **Warspite** » Thu Feb 27, 2014 6:43 am

i would consider trading KCP on draft night to help us get a pick/SF. In this draft you go BPA. We have to assume we are trading in the offseason and you have to give up something to get something so I have np with taking a big or a guard. If you can draft Harris and trade KCP with Smith for shooting they you kill 2 birds. I think Jennings has to go for us to be really good but I can wait 1 more yr.

Im totaly shocked that Stauskus and GRIII are not must haves for the UoFM fans here.

You'd be lucky to get a low first for KCP. Not sure what you think we are trading that would net a pick high enough to get Harris.

2014 lottery pick (top8 protected)

Suns have 3 picks in this draft. They are going to trade at least 1 pick.

You rag on UM fans and then propose trading KCP to open a spot up for Harris? If we have a pick, we're top 8. No way in hell Harris is top 8 at this point

Really? You're going to try and talk $hit about UM fans, then suggest that we dump Pope for Harris? Harris is an inferior prospect. He's a worse shooter from 3, from the field, he's a worse rebounder, a worse defender, and a worse athlete. He's shorter than Pope and has a smaller wingspan. His only advantage over Pope is Harris is a better slasher, but he's far from elite there, and certainly not good enough to overcome Pope's advantages in every other category. GTFO with that crap.

That just proves that Burke was not a homer pick last year, he was a great shooting and passing PG that fit perfectly on the Pistons. Probably a better defender than Jennings too. Utah has greatly improved their record once he started playing.

Stauskas and GRIII are good, but not necessary for the Pistons. Stauskas would be ok if we needed a backup SG. I like KCP over Stauskas though for defense.

Every Mock Draft has Harris going between 5-10. No I dont think Harris is much better than KCP (KCP would be a top 5 pick in this draft had he stayed 1 more yr). http://nbadraft.net/ has Harris as the 8th pick. I just went by there list.

Maybe this should be your wakeup call about this draft if Gary Harris is BPA in this draft for the Pistons maybe they dont care if they lose the pick? There is no player in this draft at #8 that can make an impact.

Actually, everybody has him 11 right now except for the one you conveniently linked here. There's just a disconnect where you say trade KCP for shooters and draft Harris. That's counter-intuitive. You use the pick to land a potential all star and you sign shooters.

Dont sleep on Levert.

Stauskus will never be able to create his own shot in the NBA and will never stick. You heard it here first. People thinking he is a first round pick is laughable.

This is coming from a guy who loves Stauskus..

I want Marcus Smart honestly. He would be a great PG for this team

I dont get your logic. If this is supposed to be the better draft than why do you want to keep the lesser player? Im guessing its because of your emotional attachment to the player who has already worn the uni. There are no allstars you can get for the 8th pick and Smith. Most certainly no wing players. You might be looking at trading the pick for shooters. Maybe just taking the kid from Duke and hoping he can be a rotation player is all you can do.

Thats the issue with this team: Its a lottery team with no huge holes. Its not that the players are bad but that they dont fit. If Joe D has signed Korver instead of Smith we would be less talented but win 20 more games.

A poor distributor who can't shoot well? Yeah, he's a perfect fit.

If we lose our pick which is looking like a guarantee at this point. We should look into trading into the late first round or early second round to grab Robinson. If I'm not mistaking Hes mocked around that area correct? Miami usually just gives away their 1st rounder on draft night because they don't even want to take on the salary of another player.

Notanoob · Post #35 » by **Notanoob** » Tue Mar 4, 2014 5:43 am

Robinson shouldn't even declare for this draft, he's just an athlete at this point. He has so little confidence in his offensive game it's just frustrating. Hopefully he'll come out of his shell and start asserting himself like he should in time for the tournaments. I wouldn't be mad if we drafted him, but he's not really my favorite for our pick. He's mocked at being a early-mid second round pick, not a first anywhere at this point.

But yeah, we should be trying to buy a low first round pick if at all possible. Maybe even an extra second; we could use them to move up or just keep them as I like some of the prospects this year anyways.

I havent watched much Michigan ball this year. Just trying to think of what good SF we can get that late in the draft.

Another 2nd round prospect to keep an eye on is Fuquan Edwin out of Seton Hall. He's a senior, but he's an excellent 3 point shooter and plays excellent defense, although it's harder to tell since he plays a 2-3 zone. He's a very good athlete, being long and fast, but he's got poor ball-handling skills and all that. He's the definition of a 3 and D guy. He's projected as being a bottom 2nd rounder, but I can't understand it based on his skill-set.

I'm also going to declare my passionate love for Delon Wright as a prospect right now. 6'5", excellent shot selection (he's shooting nearly 60%(!!!) from the field as a high volume scorer, and a GUARD), solid distributor (5.4APG) and great athlete (6 boards, 2.3spg, 1.3bpg, again, 1.3bgp as a freaking guard). It's really stunning how much hype has to do with his rankings. This kid can ball and is a real freak.
