The surprising thing watching him for Boulogne-Levallois is how physical he can be in the post. He takes it personally when big grown men try to knock him off his spots. He really does try to body up and he's held up physically over 2 seasons. He'll be fine physically. You can never rule put freak injuries obviously, a la Chet.

Between Wemby, Scoot, and the Twins, I'm feeling pretty damn good about the Pistons getting another great player. This should be our last year in the tank.

Of course, Detroit is getting Wemby tonight, but in the event that they don't... Nah, they'll get the #1. We're due. It's been 15 years of Kings-like **** except instead of Demarcus Cousins we had Andre Drummond.

EDIT: I love when I accidentally end up in a team specific forum when I click a post showing only as the newest in the NBA Forums. Woops! Sorry, guys. Best of luck tonight.

The Spurs think Amen is a bigger Ja Morant. Detroit should draft him.

Klintman at 15?
Talent is there.

I really like Bufkin.
Would be very happy to see him as an Orlando Magic player.
