Re: Detroit Pistons Voting Big Board - #9
I just noticed Pistons Powered is doing a similar voting big board. Interesting to see how theirs compared to ours, pretty close. Readers there have Jahlil two spots lower than us, and Mudiay and Johnson flipped. Otherwise the same.

Re: Detroit Pistons Voting Big Board - #9
I really like WCS here. This is as about as lower risk as you can get on a boom or bust situation. You either live with his supposed foot problems or him turning into a multidimensional defender with a midrange.
I just don't see the upside in others nor do I think they'll even reach remotely close to it.

Interesting. Everything being close to the same doesn't surprise me too much since most every agrees on who the top eight or so players in the draft are. I don't read that blog for the most part and had no idea they were doing the same thing. Like I said before I stole this idea from Charlotte's board.

Re: Detroit Pistons Voting Big Board - #9
I'm a believer in Booker, not so much WCS. I would rather have a guy who is outstanding at one or two things, than someone who is pretty good at a lot of things. To me that's the difference between Tayshaun Prince and Ray Allen. Sure you need guys like TP, but you can win playoff games with guys like Ray Allen.
Detroit vs. Everybody

Re: Detroit Pistons Voting Big Board - #9
I went with Turner. I think WCS is going to drop because of the foot issue. Certainly isn't going in the 5-8 range which has been discussed a lot before the combine. Turner is a big that was under-utilized by a crappy coach in Texas. He has a lot of upside and I wouldn't mind if the Pistons took him if we can't get a good SF.
