  1. Good video, Iā€™m not going to be shocked if your channel blows up this offseason

  2. I do wonder with the job security that the Pistons new HC Monty Williams has by signing that six year deal, does he learn towards more high upside with the pick and the FO takes Whitmore at 5. For me I don't think Detroit can go wrong with either Whitmore, Ausar, Jarace or Hendricks at this pick.

    However out of these three, Whitmore's potential outcome screams all-star/top-three option. That just might be too much to pass up, if they are just looking for best available talent. This is going to be one of the more fascinating selections come draft night.

  3. Portland please next! I KNOW you want to trade Dame but maybe if you could tease out Miller/Thompson/Henderson trade down options that work with Dame moving forward. Thank you!

  4. As disappointing as it is for the Pistons to miss out on the Wemby lottery I really like Walker or Hendricks slotting in as a front court pairing with Duren. Get all the young dudes playing under Monty and I think Detroit is definitely a team on the rise.

  5. Detroit gotta workout Whitmore, Walker and Ausar then pick which ever is their guy

  6. I was in the "Wemby" or bust camp. A crushing let-down to end up with the 5th pick even after being the worst team in the league last season. At this point, my trust is in Troy (the GM). I'm sure he'll pick whoever he thinks will work best with our current roster once he sees who's available when he gets to the mic. Just really hoping new coach Monty can do for the Pistons what he did for the Suns and at least return us to relevance again soon…

  7. 100% agree. I would take Jarace or Hendricks. I think Hendricks has a little higher ceiling than a lot of people think, he shoots well off movement and there's some pull-up to his game.

    I'd just add that I think Anthony Black is an option here. I know we need shooting but his shot is further along than the Thompson twins and he has pretty good touch. Detroit needs a glue guy with defense and he's exactly that. Tough if he can't shoot longterm though.

  8. Great video, interesting players for Orlando at 6 too.. would like to hear your opinion about the magic picks too
