Multiple mentions of team and player preferences I hadnt heard yet. Interesting if true.

Solid Mock tbh


I can't get over the idea of the Pistons taking Buzelis. He can't shoot, and his whole appeal is that he's a huge guard that handles well for his size and has good athleticism. Go head and put him on the worst shooting team in the league, who's only top end prospect is a large ball dominate PG? There's multiple shooters in the lottery this draft, you can't be the worst team in history again.


Exactly. Buzelis makes them worse. They cant really afford to take some mega project because of some fictional ceiling.

Hawks also rumored to liking Cody Williams too hence a trade with Spurs.

And some say if they're super bad again, they'll just get one of the top picks in the stronger draft next year. 1. You're the pistons, you don't get the number pick, the league hates you. 2. That ain't fair to the players on the team. You can tank, but at a certain point you're hurting them mentally for the future. What kind of habits do you think you're teaching these kids? Losing the amount they did was unacceptable.

Bona in the second round as a backup big would be nice. Reunite him with JJJ. Miami UCLA Bruins

Don’t draft anyone please that you’re not 1000% percent sure can share the floor with Bam for long stretches. Pick someone with the long term vision as a potential starter. Let’s not have another Achuiwa situation where you burn a good pick on a backup Center. You save that for the 2nd round.

Portland has seen a lot of Da Silva. He worked out for them last year too. Would not shock me to see him taken at 14.

We getting a center some how, some way this draft. No more journey man/undrafted back up 5s. Great! That helps fix the biggest hole on the team in my opinion. Non bam minutes

Really feel like we should draft Ware, Holmes, Edey, Missi and Bona. Flood the team with big man depth. Put Bam at the 3 since hes an outside shooter now. Jovic at the 2. JJJ at point. Upsize the whole dang roster.

Would be a slam dunk second round pick for us. Go with the most skilled player at 15 then wait for Bona in the 2nd.

I'd love to know what kind of pick can we get for Herro.

Would Magic give up #16?
Bulls #11?
Raptors #19?

Because I just might.

Feels like getting a double injection of talent in the mid first this year can really change the vibes around this team.

Rozier/Ajay Mitchell
Devin Carter/Robinson
Jimmy/JJJ
Bam/Jovic
Ware/Bona
