Pistons fans seem to be thinking Shabazz will be the BPA when they pick, and most agree they need scoring.

Bazz is a top5 lock, I mean, there's no way he falls more than that, it depends on the lottery but, Charlotte, Phoenix, Cleveland, NOLA... one of theme are taking him, for sure.

Tony Allen plays most of his minutes as SF? since when? who are Rudy Gay, Prince and Pondexter then?

I have a hard time seeing Oladipo playing primarily the 3 as well, at probably no more than 6-5 in shoes. He may measure out with a big wingspan though.

I'm so confused on whom wizards can get with the 8 pick. no one in here has mention Glen Robinson 111 he can play small forward.

Robinson is coming back to Michigan.

It looks like Len, Zeller or Bennett right now.

Not sure if Len be still left on the board. Cody Zeller i would take at 8 if everyone else is off the board.

Porter would be gone at 4, and Muhammad in my mock too.

So... who do you pick between Len, Zeller, Burke and Bennett?

I think they go safe and grab Zeller.

I would go Bennett, then Zeller, then Len, then Burke.

I think Bennett goes top five though. I would love for us to pick Zeller but I doubt we will.

Zeller's "drop" is curious. It's fueled by bad groupthink nitpicking IMO because there wasn't really anything that happened on or off the court to change his evaluation. He's one of the easiest and cleanest projections in the class IMO.

No matter, we're going to move up to #2 anyway.

And Detroit has 2 young bigs.

So, nevermind. Happy day!

Of course we lost. Was there ever any doubt that we would? Even in the year we won the coin toss we lost the war so to speak.

We deserved to lose. Detroit played hard down the stretch for pride. We tanked blatantly, resting 4 or 5 of our top 6 players.

Yeah. We didn't rest Wall though and we could have and we still played hard. We almost beat both the Nets and the Bulls and the Bulls were trying. Beal, Nene, and Webster were all legitimately injured and shouldn't have been playing as much as they did before they got shut down. I don't know what was up with Ariza and Okafor.

It's not curious. He simply has very little upside. That's it.

I've read in certain websites that Pelicans fans aren't in love with Greivis as a long-term solution at point guard. They don't like his lack of athletic ability and footspeed, and they think he gets alot of cheap assists. They may take Burke if they feel he's BPA.

I expect them to take Burke. RIvers was HORRIBLE and they can't count on him. Burke gives them a cheap backup PG and insurance if Vasquez gets a big deal. I also think they could conceivably trade Vasquez and their pick for Jrue Holliday. Philly needs to tank and Holliday is their best chip.

If lack of athleticism and lack of footspeed are the problems with Greivis, then drafting Burke doesn't address that. He's a mediocre athlete with unimpressive footspeed too. And on top of that, he's short.

CJM moving the the board. Went from 14th to 9th in the mock draft machine.

Wait until he gets to workout for people and they see him healthy.

I would draft CJM before I would draft Shabazz

I also would take CJM before Shabazz. I wish we could pull move to add a pick and draft CJM.

We need back up point guard help so what were going to do with Tomas satoransky
