Indeed it is. I’m a fan.

He is a tad small but Kennedy Chandler is hooping. Don't sleep.

Yeah, water is clearly finding its level with Chet. He's still got a nice blocks average but his games are now starting to look a lot more like "very nice piece" than "team stud" relative to points, rebounds and assists. That being said he could still help the Pistons around the rim but if you're talking about the Pistons having a 1-5 pick...maybe at 5. But at 1? I wouldn't do it.

I'm not a big Chet fan at all but it's almost impossible to properly evaluate him on a team where there are many upperclassmen that are go to options on that team, he doesn't have much opportunity with the ball to showcase his skills.
I know he went there to win but I'm not sure it was the best move for his draft stock.

Is it just me or does Baldwin’s release look slow?

Other than Drew Timmie, who should Chet defer too? They don't have a Suggs or Ayayi on this roster.

Baldwin Jr looks like a poor man's MPJ or Harrison Barnes. Big shooter so will have some utility but not a high lotto guy imo.

Looking like we’re headed for another top 5

1. Jabari - 2 way star, play him at 4, move Jerami to 3
2. Paolo - melo lite, I’d play him at 3
3. Jaden Ivey - not interested in a guard but he’s looks good enough to make Killian first guard off the bench. Love his attacking and scoring.
4. Chet - I still believe in Chet. I think his NBA playing style will be more like his HS playing style. He will be good as a stretch 5 with skills. More like a plus skilled Jarret Allen than Evan Mobley. Block shots, make shots.
5. Keegan Murray/Bennedict Mathurin/Mark Williams are my preferred guys.

Call me crazy but I want both Banchero and Ivey, we lack a starting caliber guard that can consistently push for transition basket. Also, the pick and roll of Cade and Banchero could be a thing of magic for the next 10 years. Banchero needs to work on his finishing close to the basket, but the way he goes through people and not afraid of contact, perfect for the pick and roll. Plus has a good mid- range for pick and pop.

This seems like a middling draft, where the best player in it, may be one picked 12th or something. Chet has skills, but his frame is brutal. Banchero seems to be a 60% version of Blake.

If y'all had to stake your life on a player not being a superstar, but one you know will be at least successful and a good fit with Cade, who would it be.

Basically I'm asking who your safe pick is.

I think Banchero is safe and the best by a good margin. He can score down low, drive like a force at times and has a soft shooting touch.

I like Pistons Blake comp for him which is still a great player but hopefully a bit better defensively

To be fair you described Bagley as well. Projecting players is so hard. It’s truly a crapshoot

Jabari/Paolo fill 2 holes instantly (shooting/PnR big) but Ivey is so dynamic and might up the general shot quality. As it stands now, I don't think Detroit would be bummed with either 3. Lots of season left though.

Those are my three prospects to watch, the question marks on the rest are pretty big.

Jaden Ivey had some turnovers in the loss to Rutgers, but he’s still my can’t miss pick. His speed and explosive athleticism is elite. Good handles and vision and a decent spot up shooter. Purdue is more of a post up team too which clogs the lane up for him. His ability to attack the rim with drives and cuts was more apparent in the Fiba tournament.

Banchero seems like the best draftee to get but Jalen Duren fits our needs like hell. Legit 6'11, very athletic, rim protector, hustler. I can see Cade/Killian run some good pick and roll with him and get him some nice lobs. Trade Grant for a pick and take both Banchero/Duren.

Not to say Duren can't turn it around, but he has struggled mightily to score and rebound against high major teams. This highlight you posted is his only good game so far and its against Western Kentucky. Concerning.

Jalen Green, is that you?

IMO Jaden is stronger, more mature player. Better passer, better rebounder, better free throw rate, more steals. Doesn’t come across as a just a scorer, more like a winner. I feel better about Jaden than I did about Jalen honestly. Jalen has more scoring talent but that’s about it.

I'd rather get mark Williams before Duren
