Pistons pick is looking worse and worse if they hire SVG.

Pick is still worth a ton, just have to use it in a trade.

Van Gundy had Dwight Howard, a great scoring center surrounded by sharp shooters like Reddick, Nelson and Lewis.

Now he'll have Drummond, a limited center offensively, surrounded by chuckers.

The pick is no different than yesterday.

You are crazy if you think SVG doesn't make them better, he is a great coach

That was just the preview. The actual combine is tomorrow morning like 10am I think.

Glenn Robinson III's agent is promising a 45 inch vertical from him, which would be a combine record.

And I would want him badly if he did that with the Portland pick.

Combine warriors never intrigue me. I'm intrigued by production & skill sets that I've seen displayed on the floor during a actual game. Glenn Robinson III is solid, but nothing about him having a 45-inch vertical would impress me. What would impress me is if he shot lights out from deep 3-point range during workouts. Robinson III and CleAnthony Early are similar players, but Early has more production so I would lean towards him pending on what Robinson III can show shooting-wise

Robinson has a very solid mid range game, but he does need to bring his range out a little bit.

He is also a very solid defender, if he is there i would have to think about taking him

I was going to say "just like his father" until I saw the next post about the defence.

If he was like his father I would want him. Big Dog could've made a killing as a stretch 4 in today's league but he wanted to be a SF and that's why he got exploited defensively.

Not really interested. Wouldn't be a bad pick tho.

I'm a Duke fan and think Hood is a high character guy with nice range, but I'm real worried about his defense at the next level. As a spot up shooter and in isos he can do work, but I'm a little worried about his BBIQ when it comes to team defense.
