While everyone is all hyped and excited for our prospects, Let me ask a question . Who is shaedon Sharpe? He's is as physically gifted as hamidou Diallo. He is Anthony Edwards and a Jalen green only he's a better shooter than both. He's explosive and a dynamic scorer. My question is would you take a better Anthony Edwards or a better Jalen green over any of the supposed number one prospects in this upcoming draft? I am betting if Sharpe is available when the Pistons pick Sharpe will be a piston. Based on Weavers eye for finding talent I am good with whoever he selects.

Im not even bothering scouting him until he shows some sort of indication he will declare. For some reason i believe him and coach Cal that he's staying in KY.

Some guys in the draft forum might know more about him but i dont start scouting these guys until college.

When does a projected top 5-10 guy not declare? I can't think of too many examples of that happening, I can remember many that said they weren't coming out, then did. If the Pistons didn't end up top2/3 I would take Sharpe over the next tear, just on raw potential I guess.

Not often, i remember Marcus Smart doing it. Im telling you guys hes not gonna declare, i have a feeling. Cal is usually the first to tell his guys to go to the NBA but hes saying hes definitely staying.

I think most of our worried about the drop down, moreso than getting the top pick. It is true your odds of getting the top pick are about the same, but you can drop to 7 at 4. In this draft, I'd like to be in the top 4 maybe 5.

I get that but I don't see much difference between 4 and 8 in this draft. Some have Ivey as a clear 4 or even in the top 3 but I don't think Ivey is a much better prospect than Mathurin/Sharpe/Murray/Griffin or even Davis for some so I don't really care too much if they finish 1st or 4th because the top 3 odds are largely unchanged and the top 3 bigs are the prize of the draft albeit not a Cade/Mobley/Green level prize.

Of course you'd rather finish 4th than 8th but it's not a big difference IMO, not enough of a difference to worry too much about winning some games down the stretch.
