Mobley #1 for posteriority's sake.

Cade is not top 2 talent.

Mitchell is not first round talent.

My 3 big takes of the draft.

In my opinion Cade isn't a runaway #1 guy in this draft.

But with that said I think Detroit is a blank canvas. I know they have Killian Hayes, but sorry it isn't the kind of prospect that makes you think about who you're drafting at #1. I think Detroit should really zone in on 2 guys, Cade and Suggs. I think Detroit should really be eyeing in on a player they can treat like a Luka or Trae.

In different words, a super high usage player that can be the new face of the franchise right away and someone they can start building around. I love me some Mobley, but he's not that kind of player. Green is a freak prospect, but he isn't that high time per possession kind of player.

So if I was Detroit it would be between Cade and Suggs. I know Suggs really isn't that kind of player, but I think they can mold him into it and I think he could handle that role easily. But ya I think they go with Cade.

I'll be shocked, but I would give a standing ovation if Detroit pulls a Boston and trades down 2-3 spots in this draft (and tries to grab Suggs). If there is a draft to do it, its this one. Again Im a fan of Cade, but I dont see a consensus #1 and the top 5 in this class is stacked.

Suggs has more fire in his belly than Cade, and Green is a 20 ppg scorer the second he steps foot in the league. I'm trading down if I'm Det.
