I mean it came straight from todays mock draft. Pick 1 center from France lol
If the Pistons, and I mean Weaver, picks another center in the draft, when there is a clear and concise need for a 4, I will just be done.

This **** guy with his center fetish.

He has to be stopped.

I seen some guy in the draft thread compare him to Nic Claxton. Wasserman says JJjr so maybe he can shoot the 3pter. I guess thats the consensus top prospect this year. I havent been following the class closely as its just depressing that their is no big time prospect to hope for.

Every "expert" is saying this is the dud once a decade real draft class. I'm sure their will be a couple guys but who knows where their picked from.

This is for sure a trade the pick draft. We got enough young guys. We need to add the highest level Vet talent we can get regardless of fit like the Rockets did and hope some magic happens like it did for them.

Do you consider Alex Sarr a center?

He shoots 3 but not at a respectable clip.

People are comparing him to Evan Mobley and JJJ.

There’s a couple of SFs that should be good. Better than Sarr.

There’s no clear top guy in this draft. Just have to grab a fit.

I havent watched him personally. Just know on hearsay and his stats. I think its just a matter of the class sucks so were hyping the toolsy 7'1 ft French player.

He has a long ways to go to be JJjr thats pretty easy to see by looking at the numbers. JJjr as a freshman was 40% from 3pter, 80% on the line, and was averaging 3 blocks.

Mobley also was a really elite prospect coming out dominating the NCAA. Those guys were considered good prospects in good draft classes.

Sar averages 9 4 reb .8apg and 1.3blk in the NBL in Australia.

Hes shooting under 30% from 3pt on 2shots and 66% from the FT line. Quite the ways to go to be a floor spacer that we need.

Yeah Ron Holland I've seen alot of "highest ceiling prospect". He cant shoot the 3ball though so he should be out.

Cody Williams brother of Jalen seems to be the best fit. Seems like hes more of a raw, high efficient, utility guy. He is shooting 50% from 3pter but just on 2 shots 71% from the line so likely not a elite shooter just yet. Word is hes a good defender.

Maybe this other French 4 Wasserman has at 4 Zaccharie Risacher with no creation who can shoot the 3 is the guy we would go.


I cant remember being less excited about a draft. I really think this is a we need to trade the draft pick draft. We have tons of youthful players in the rotation. Their is no slam dunk prospect to add. Go get us a Vet that can play with that and whatever else we need to use.
