Detroit Pistons 2016 Voting Big Board - #6 

Post#1 » by coordinator0 » Wed Jun 8, 2016 9:10 pm

Kris Dunn won the last poll. Now it gets kind of underwhelming it terms of fits for Detroit. Hield would be a great two guard off the bench but isn't particularly versatile. I like Poeltl quite a bit but he's a pure center. Then there's a bunch of forwards with different skills, some of which the Pistons could use and others that duplicate what they already have on the roster. I'm not sure where to go from here until about the 12th spot.

Who's your pick for the #6 player on Detroit's big board?

1. Ben Simmons
2. Brandon Ingram
3. Dragan Bender
4. Jamal Murray
5. Kris Dunn

This one isn't easy. Went with Hield, but at the same time I think there's a good chance Valentine is better in the NBA. I feel like this is the kind of decision that gets NBA GM's fired. Sorry Detroit, feelin' the pressure. lol. I like Chriss, but #6? He may not even play meaningful minutes next year.

I'm going with Deyonta Davis here. It's as much about the rest of the board as the prospect himself. I'm not a fan of Chriss, Hield is kind of meh as an NBA prospect to me, and Brown wouldn't bring anything to the team that they don't already have. He actually reminds me somewhat of Johnson, although I liked him coming out of Arizona more.

Davis is that defensive big that would be a great addition to the rotation (eventually). Being able to guard out on the perimeter and defend the rim is very valuable. Offensively he's a big work in progress but I'm fine with that.
