I dont see why you’d give this guy a guaranteed contract

It was a bad sign when the shot of their War Room looked like the lounge at a community college.

Awful. Does not help for multiple years and also could have got him at 33 anyway.

Donda? Donda university?

A big part of why we only have 1 title and no wiggle room is due to picks like this. Absolute dog

A vast majority of #23 are busts. Not going to get all worked up about it immediately.

Hopefully, he is a gym rate and has a Giannis type growth spurt. He looks like a 16 y/o kid.

I just don't know how you can sell this one. Our core will be gone or retired by the time this guy is ready to play. He will have to be pretty **** good for this not to look dumb.

there was a 99% chance he'd still be there at 33

Could've gotten a guy ready to play in Shannon or Dunn and this is what we go for

This pick ACTUALLY suits Detroit. Maybe he’s confused?

Using your 1st round pick on a guy you could have gotten with your 2nd round pick will now be referred to as ''Pulling a Jon Horst''.

AJ Johnson is interesting for the 2nd rounder. He has significant core potential, he's young, & performed pretty well in the scrimmages. In addition was a 5* recruit before going int'l route. Went poorly, but we've seen that before. Good size for a pg (could play 2), change of speed, feel, smooth shot, & competitive on d. Would prefer this as a swing over a Chomche. It'd be a risky pick & likely take time to develop though.

Nice play at 1:20.

Horst is dog water at drafting and evaluating long term talent. It's just what it is.

Post #98 » by **MickeyDavis** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 2:46 am

It's definitely a head scratcher. Probably take MarJon's place on the bench and with the Herd

I just dont **** understand drafting for future when we are in win now lol, ffs we been trading all our future picks haha

So much for us being tight-lipped now, too. Vecenie was all over this, although maybe via Duffy.
