I admit I don't watch college basketball and so I rely on highlights and scouting reports but why in the world do mock drafts have us taking Herro? He reminds me of guy we once drafted..... Luke Kennard.

Yeah I don’t get it

Draft Express

Career high 34 points (8/11 2P, 5/7 3P) 9 rebounds in 29 minutes for 18-year old projected lottery pick Sekou Doumbouya in an important win for Limoges tonight. Nice momentum for him going into the French playoffs starting next week.

This is the type of guy you trade up for and develop. If he’s in our range we should package Luke and our pick to move up a couple spots.

We're not in the "develop a green rookie" window with Griffin and Casey. We're drafting a SF starter in the draft, or at least that is what the hope will be when we make the pick. Won't be about highest upside, will be of those on the board who will be the best player next season for us. I think we'll look for the best defensive profile wing/SF on the board when we pick.

Matisse Thybulle will be our pick.

herro and pj Washington would absolutely be 2 of the worst picks the pistons could make at 15..I'm bracing myself for the disappointment and potentially new fandom elsewhere

I think they need to target Reddish or Hachimura in a trade up. Otherwise Romeo Langford or KZ Okpala should be the targets at 15.

I like Sekou!
You need 2-way wings, 2-way shooting bigs, and you can't allow low iq players on the court. Assist/turnover ratio is crucial. Shooting point guards are icing on the cake IF they are plus defenders.
Weaver & Casey, govern yourselves accordingly!

No, he's any kind of semblance to an actual asset that we have. And we are scant with assets as a capped out team.
