Dafuq? Yeah Phoenix is really killing with that marketing strategy.

The Morris twins are not on the level of Zeller as a prospect. The Zellers can atleast be starters on a good team.

If you run a 3 man rotation up front, your 3rd big is as important as any starter. Especially now days where bigs get into foul trouble regularly. If the Pistons think Zeller is the BPA, then take him.

I'm not sold on Bennett being better than MUhammed. We need a SF and a SG and probably PG as well. I'd take Oladipo over Bazz if he fell but I can't see that happening. I'll just hope for Burke but if not him i'll be happy with Shabazz.

If Zeller really is just killing it with some perimeter shooting, he would certainly warrant serious consideration for the 8th pick.

While Detroit's biggest needs lie on the perimeter, if Zeller is the BPA, they should take him. If he works out, and could potentially supplant Monroe; Detroit could then create a package featuring Monroe to land the kind of impact perimeter player they require. Or, just pay Moose next summer and run with a monster big trio until Zeller's rookie deal is up and make a decision.

While superstar wings aren't a dime a dozen, it's even more difficult to get good to great big men. I'm all for Detroit taking the BPA, but they better be damn sure it's the BPA, and not another Austin Daye pick.

If Zeller's really the clear-cut BPA at #8, I'm betting some teams will be looking to trade up for him.

If Zeller is the best player I want him.



Can you just see Zeller coming to Detroit with a bad boys t shirt and proclaiming that he wants #40 and he will be bringing "Combat Basketball 2" to the PS3?

NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo! Bennett is a way better prospect. Zeller plays smaller than 6'9" Biyombo, that's not getting it done. Zeller is fairly overrated at everything but running up and down the floor.

I'm not even sure the Gazeller will be the BPA for you all at 8. Would sooner draft McCollum or Muhammad before Zeller at 8 unless you can trade Monroe for top flight 2-3.

Whomever Cho's computer spits out. I think it's likely either Oladipo, McLemore, or Bennett, in no particular order. I have a sneaking suspicion that they might trade out of this draft somehow. They're being secretive, as usual, and haven't scheduled workouts with anyone and their combine interview targets were really random (mostly mid 1st round guys). I wouldn't put a lot of stock in us drafting Len or Zeller, and whomever the draft think we're picking is almost definitely not gonna be the guy.
