this has to be the start of something please the pick is in boys it’s in oh trade no trade oh gosh I do see pick is in now Tre Johan is calling someone please give us just give me a shooter this is getting intense boys give me a shooter I’ve got nothing over here don’t connect that’s what I’m hoping if it’s anybody hold on don’t boer’s looking across social media say names don’t [ __ ] with me man this is not the time I I’m come on boys here we go thought he was gonna say it no not yet I’ve got nothing yet come on boys please give us someone all I want just I want some optimism man I’ve been fighting this battle for too long I’m tired I’m tired I’ve been fighting this battle for too long Tran please I’ve got nothing over here yet I’ve got nothing over here yet Ron still there there still don’t look Jeff don’t look Jeff oh please Jeff’s looking he knows no no no I’m behind they haven’t it’s not close you’re farther ahead to me oh my gosh look at team needs number one thing three-point shooting yes don’t connect one of the best three-point Shooters Rob Dill 40 plus percent please just give us a shooter oh gosh this is nerve-wracking like I’m more nervous than the the Lion’s pick if I’m being honest this is like I mean this is way more what compared to like the pan draft where are you at mindset wise um similar SP that was that’s a good comp cuz that was like the tone Setter of the franchise he couldn’t mess that up come on give was the pick Jeff made it seem like you saw Jeff looks scarred right now I think Jeff Jeff’s oh I saw the pick through Jeff’s screen oh oh no all right we got we got a I think we got a dog I I will say this who is it say announce the pick announce the pick the pick is Ron Holland the second and I I I I want to give some background on this uh you got to stay with me though you gotta stick with me for a little bit here right just okay so Ron Holland was one the the best player coming out of his class in high school went to the G League uh what I think the best perimeter defender in the draft I think you could argue certainly U so he’s got a lot of you know we wanted OG for certain reasons this is what he is uh so value-wise you’re getting a very good player now here’s the kicker not the greatest shooter so that’s the other I’m I’m sorry I gotta throw that in there very good player like this to me guys I don’t I know you don’t want to hear it this is BPA to him to Tren for sure because he’s in terms of pedigree he had the best resume as a player obviously number one coming out five star all that he’s uh it’s a good pick but again for people that want fit he’s a wing but you know the shooting is something that people kind of do mention with with Ron Holland but that’s a basic summary of of the selection if I had to give it to you how much do you think this impacts the potential next head coaching decision do you think this is a guy that can more Sweeney or I know bargo’s been a name to mention but he’s also an offensive guy so it might not be as attractive considering this is who you really have to develop around given it’s a first round pick so okay okay this this it’s I don’t know I I’m curious like you play him and AAR together he can’t they both can’t really shoot so and they’re both athletic freaks so you’re getting athleticism but you’re you’re not getting the three-point shooting that you know we all desired initially I know like he’s not do connect he’s not any of these these players that can shoot the ball um does that disappoint you at all like to me it’s it’s like and I’m looking here at just at his his g-league stats he shot 24% from three and that was like yeah that was one of the biggest needs on this team is shooting it’s like you have guys like Kate C you have Jay iy who’s extremely athletic you have assar Thompson who just can’t shoot um is more athletic than than a shooter so like you essentially just drafted another player that does the same thing as the other guys you have on your team instead of going after someone you know that complement your your team correctly like like you said Jee it’s seems like a best player available he scored he averaged 20 plus per game um in in the g-league so it’s like I don’t know it’s an interesting pick to me because it seems like trear langon just kind of went hey we just want to get the best player that’s available in this draft we really don’t care about fit or anything but that seems to have been essentially what’s been going on with the Detroit Pistons the last four years so it it feels like it’s a similar situation to where you get a guy like you’re you’re trying to build a team that makes sense get Shooters complement your your star players complement these players and make an actual basketball team but you just keep drafting the same same style of player over and over and over I know Trey John’s new to this so he has nothing to do with the past but that’s what this feels like so I mean he’s he’s he’s a very athletic player he’s big size can defend like you said Jeff but at some point this team has to add shooting and this team has to add something to complement Kade Cunningham and some of these the these like you can’t have assar Thompson Ron Holland and and Kate Cunningham as your three guards that you know would you would it be fair to say this I you know and I’m not I’m just playing devil’s advocate here when Brad says this for the not comparing Brad to this but I’m but Brad’s philosophy what did he say he said the draft is for BPA for agency is fulfilling needs do you think Tran without familiarity with the roster quite yet he’s going okay I’m taking the best player available and then we’ll fix the shooting in for agency you think that’s that think’s if you’re if you’re comparing to Brad I think Brad does it but he also addresses best player available in team in positions where the team needs it I don’t think this is exactly position of need for the Pistons like to boer’s point they already have tons of these players yeah it’s like they they need wings but I get like assar is kind was kind of that like big athletic Wing uh can defend can’t really shoot you know that’s I get it like I I do and again they’re looking at the the Boston Celtics and you see what those two guys are doing wings and and you see what the Knicks just did Mikel Bridges OG anobi wings and they’re taking another Wing which you know I’m okay with it’s just the the part that you know he’s not the greatest shooter I mean on three attempts he shot what 20 a little over 20% what’ you say 27% 24% over three attempts a game so it’s not that he just he’s not shooting a lot he’s shooting over three threes a game and shoot 24% there there’s no there’s no like to me it’s the the again it’s I want someone who who who we know can shoot like there were so many players in this draft who could probably score at a clip like Ron Holland like Rob Dillingham and um even like like it’s great like Cody Williams and these guys obviously they didn’t like Cody Williams only averaged 12 or something in Colorado but these guys can shoot the Rock and then they can play at a high level as well def like you you can again the defensive side of the ball that’ll take care of itself to a like to an extent but to me it’s just more so I want to add players that complement the team that you have currently and to your point Jeff if he’s new if Trey John’s new and maybe he doesn’t know the team as well so he just went BPA I’m not like the only upside to me it’s it’s hey you do have a guy with a very high ceiling essentially and if he somehow does get a shot but you guys know how I feel about guys that shoot under 27% it’s yeah like like I just like go look at a shot it’s not the greatest looking shot either so it’s I don’t know if that’s something you can ever develop but you just have a a player that’s like the doc just put in there he said he gives it a b i I would give it maybe a C+ a c a C+ that’s what I would give this this draft uh this pick where do you think that like because you talk about first round picks you expect them to at least raise the ceiling they’re not raising the ceiling of a team they’re elevating the floor that was the whole thing with dton connect he can at least start and not maybe not start but contribute right away so where when you talk about a guy like Ron Holland where does he really help this franchise long term I think he helps them immediately defensively which I think we you know and I I trust me I’m I’m frustrated with with you know his ability not to shoot but I understand the pick because of the player he is um and what his background is his resume his pedigree like I understand that you know I think defensively he helps them immediately so there’s that um but man I I I’ll ask this again like how do you put out a lineup with assar and him on the floor together like you just you got really shoot um again great defensively that would be a that would be a terrifying two-wing look for opposing uh great offensive wings like I understand that but those two can’t really shoot Duren uh if he’s in your lineup he can’t shoot and then you have Ivy as your really your second bet your second best shooter after Kade like that’s it’s concerning you know but I don’t know that’s how where I’m at we have to hope that he develops a shot or AAR takes a significant jump or both of them preferably man you know what this makes me feel like guys it makes me feel like that Trey John’s looking to trade some pieces some younger guys that that that’s just because again to your point Jeff it’s can you play all all these same guys on the floor at the same time and um similar style of play with with really no shooting on the floor especially today’s NBA probably not so maybe it’s something to where TR J looked at this and he’s already assessed The Rock roster the last three or four weeks these are the guys we want to stay with these are the guys we want to move on with how do we replace and fill in those holes and that’s Ron Holland is filling in a hole that maybe he sees that he might want to get rid of and move on from so I’m not saying that’s a sar or or anything but maybe that’s like a a Jay nvy maybe he has some deals set up for to move on with a Jay Navy or move on with someone else or I know he has mentioned he wants to see how that works but maybe there’s there’s something behind the scenes that we’re looking at because like a Rob Dillingham like I’m I’m a little caught up on the Rob deal I that’s who I was kind of hoping yeah yeah and you know Saloon just went to the Hornets yeah and he’s he can shoot too like I he’s a he’s a big 68 guard kind of wing that that that has a shot as well so I’m gonna put a poll up uh probably draft do you think he drafted the worst shooter out of I’d imagine and the within the top 10 I don’t know how like sa and all those guys shoot given that they’re big men I don’t know but Ian I mean shooting what do you say 27% whatever it was 2 24 24 it’s just I mean you guys are way more DieHard piston fan than I am but it’s just aggravating to see like Boer you said right before the pick was in team needs number one three-point shooting and now I mean if you don’t go all in and get some at least serviceable knockdown consistent Shooters this team’s going to be in a very Sim similar situation to what it was last season as far as what they need to do what they need to accomplish because you can go and get the Joe harrises but they don’t [ __ ] work they don’t play now what could you imagine if the Spurs take Dillingham and they take two guards oh my gosh I wouldn’t be shocked or don’t connect organization I mean that’s what they do that would be I mean they could just say f it and do it um I mean he’s still on the board if you’re going BPA I mean he is he’s that oh yeah I I don’t know oh we’re going to do we’re gonna I’m gonna we’ll do a whole breakdown and and talk about it more tomorrow I I think Ron Holland as a player again I I get that tells me him taking Ron howand is BPA um not Factory in though the shooting which we talk about but I would I would assume that you know you’re taking Ron Allen because he’s the best player um available but he doesn’t really give a damn about the shooting thing which I I don’t know I think you it’s a whole another thing so for Cade for Cade’s for the sake of Cade you got to get some more shooting what do you think Cade’s doing right now what do you think kade’s doing well I’m because let’s say this like if they bring in Tobias Harris for like two years whatever a two-year deal they start him in assar and have Ron Hollen Off the Bench I mean maybe you can and then eventually Ron as he gets better you have to hope he can shoot I mean he can develop a shot that’s really what it comes down toas name
