You have 3 guys to pick that must stay with the Pistons for the next 4 years

I'll be a pain in the butt and answer your question literally. If a player has to stay with us, he'd have to sign the lowest contract allowed when his expires, no?

Sekou
Dre
Luke

Svi and Brown seem more limited to me, and Wood could be lightning on a bottle. He's been around a long time.

I'm curious what you see different from Kennard that Svi? Svi is 6'8 and a better defender and available i.e. not hurt all the time. Can you really count on Kennard with his knees?

Kennard is a better ball handler, playmaker, rebounder and just more versatiltle at creating his own offense. They both show up about the same as bad defenders too. Plus Kennard is more under team control being a RFA where SVI is not. SVI is more aggressive though with taking his shot as a catch and shoot player.

I like both of them so I don't know what's up with this whole problem with Kennard thing out of nowhere.

D.Booker,D.Mitch,M.Porter jr. JK would be nice if we had those 3 though. I wouldnt of took Book but D.Mitch for sure. If we didnt make the Blake trade MPjr would of been my guy(pistons may have went Bridges)for sure and hes starting to get healthy and show why he was projected as the 1 pick before his injury.

As far as what 3 players I'd keep Sekou is way way more valuable then anything else we have. I'd choose SVI and Wood but dont see any of the the rest of our young guys as being anything more than bench guys on a good team in the future.

I'd be shocked if 3 guys on the current roster are here in 4 years. That's just not how rebuilds go.

Who do you like coming out this year if say we pick somewhere 8-15?

Sekou, Kennard and Wood although the 1st round pick should easily replace one of these guys unless the Pistons go on a stupid late season run.

So many picking Svi over Kennard is odd. Seems to be some recency bias there.

I'm not that in love with anyone currently. I'd grab one of the boom bust pgs a guy like Mannion,Haliburton, or the French guy to team with Sekou. I'll have a better take later as I havent spent too much time looking at prospects yet.

Tendinitis in both knees at Luke's age is a red flag that can't be ignored if looking out over four years. With that in mind it's Sekou, Svi and Bruce for me. I wish we could have a fairly healthy Rose over that time but the wear and tear will likely catch up with him long before four years have passed.
