Am I insane for warming up to the idea of Jalen Green #1? That first step is lightning.

Not at all. I’m thinking about it myself. It’s him or Cade. Cade has the higher floor, but I think, if you’re looking for a primary scorer in particular, Green has the higher ceiling.

I just want a guy that can go and get buckets. Athletic as it gets. Shooting is improving.

It's 1A & 1B. I'll gladly lose the coin flip between Cade and Green.

Overall still doing some homework on it but feeling Suggs over Mobley. Opinion isn't complete yet. I'm very high on Suggs.

Just stay in the top 4 and im a happy man!!

EDIT: I now can't pick between Green/Cade/Suggs.

Flip the coin. If it lands on its side I'll take what one is left.

What player does Suggs game remind you of? He just looks so smooth offensively. (I didn't get to catch the game today)

The way he squares up to the basket/footwork/shot form reminds me of Klay Thompsons pretty stroke.

We're getting excited over the fact that a 7 footer dunked the ball on somebody? Really?

Yeah bro I'm so excited I don't know what to do with myself right now. No it was just a quiet game and then he exploded at the rim at the guy and it hit Twitter.

If you are sitting with pick 2 or 3, you are happy that there isn't a clear unquestioned #1 prospect.

If you have pick #1, you have a pretty tough decision to make if there isn't a clear cut #1. Of course, that doesn't make it a bad position to be in.

At least they're all so different so you can pick your foundation.

Suggs- more team player who can play some two way ball.

Cade- he's the guy if you want that iso scorer type

Mobley- versatile 7footer

Green- athletic freak to play off the ball and on

Kuminga- wing with lots of potential in multiple areas

Suggs honestly reminds me alot of Dame, but I can see other comparisons as well. The player I don't want is Kuminga. Don't get me wrong he has all the earmarks of a potential all-star, but he has the highest bust potential of all the players imo. In a draft with Grant Hill, Jason Kidd, Glenn Robinson, Juwan Howard and Eddie Jones I don't want to be the sad sack team drafting Donyell Marshall or even worse Lamond Murray.

Yeah he's definitely my 5th option. Potential is there but it's still just potential that doesn't feel as safe as the others. Ceiling is very high though too if he gets there which keeps him top 5.

I still think Cade is the clear cut number 1. He's shown he can do it on his own with shot creation enough making him a possible legit 1st option.

Agreed with both. Even watching just highlights nothing really popped out to me. Staying away but what do I know.

Absolutely not. He is my choice for #1, but Cade is just as good. Either one of those two and I'm happy. A top two pick this year and I will be happy as a pig in...yeah.

I have serious doubts about Mobley but its admittedly all based around the fact that he's a big man. If the Pistons get the 3rd pick, and both Green, and Cade are gone, Mobley it is, although Suggs would also be fine. I also want nothing to do with Kuminga, but if the Pistons end up with a craptastic draft placement, nothing you can do but start looking forward to next years draft.

Whoa....let's draft Suggs then

Sounds like cant go wrong with Suggs Mobley Cade Green. If we end up 5th or more is where I might get worried
