Detroit Pistons 2024 NBA Draft Picks Reactions

Detroit Pistons 2024 NBA Draft Picks Reactions

the Detroit Pistons draft obviously selecting Ron Holland fifth overall and then Bobby clitman in the second round I like I like the possibilities of both guys obviously Ron Holland’s the one will be emphasizing the most um you look at the draft that class wasn’t particularly good and Ron Holland checked a lot of boxes uh Uber athlete Uber competitive uh can get downhill can defend the only thing he couldn’t do is shoot and obviously if this was an organization that had prioritized shooting or had gotten better development from guys in terms of shooting I don’t think people would have the blowback that they did uh but at the end of the day shooting is the most teachable um skill I think in in today’s game they hired Fred Vincent for a reason and I also think like I got a lot a lot of texts and messages is this just a sar 2.0 and it’s like well in know in in all the good ways yeah like everything you love about assar this guy has too but and I’m not saying that he’ll be better than assar I actually think very highly of assar but I think his base for his jump shot is easier to work with than assar so uh there’s the upside there and to me like yeah I think if you’re picking five in a crapshoot of a draft um if you think there’s a guy who’s just maybe a piece of not a piece away but a skill away from being a legitimately scary Prospect go for it and I like this team shooting for the moon uh they don’t have a lot of high-end prospects at the end of the day for this team to get to where they want to go it has to be from drafting well and developing those guys so I get that Bobby Clinton again uh another guy upside swing 610 can shoot it can play both forward spots doesn’t really defend more of a pick and Pop I think he’ll translate to more of like a pick and pop four uh or stick in the corner four who just knocks down threes If he if he ends up developing but again has all the the physical traits you like in the modern in the modern game and he can already shoot so um I think they addressed a couple things here but for in terms of Holland I like swinging for the fences uh as opposed to drafting Dalton connect because they need three-point shooting you can go sign somebody uh who can shoot threes and has a track record of doing so yeah I do agree with that in terms of like addressing the shooting needs I I went back and forth with like three prospects kind of given like TR L’s comments with his presser and then you know rewatching some of his Pelican pressers it it seems like Ron Holland or Cody Williams were kind of the archetype of wing he was looking at to possibly draft it five and I wasn’t really upset with it given uh one of my jobs is covering a lot of g-league games so I got to see Ron Holland and Modis a lot so I I wasn’t too um upset with the pick given the type of season he had with the knite and just you know almost averaging 20 points a game against grown men in the G League yeah um the Bobby Pick I was kind of surprised by because I thought Bobby was going to be a first round Talent like because I kind of had him like 15 to 20 in that range I’m surprised he slipped yeah I was too I was very surprised to see that and I was actually surprised he was still there when the Pistons moved up I thought he had been would have been gone by 37 uh on day two yeah I mean I thought it was going to be Antonio Reeves personally because he kind of checked a lot of boxes for them but I mean I’m not I’m not upset with the the Bobby uh clitman pick at all to my knowledge I think one guy they like clitman and he was on the list of like the very short list if we’re trading up uh the other guy I know that they were interested in was I uh Johnny Fury was the other one yeah but he was gone before then I think wasn’t he the first pick in the day two or second pick in day two or something like that he was one of the first picks I believe he was gone before 37 yeah but he was G for their pick yeah I believe the Pacers made a trade with someone and they they got him some which I mean Pistons fans get to see him four times a year so I mean there’s that yeah right I mean that that that kid is just just a hard hardn player I mean yeah Pacers are just they’re gonna be good for a really long time yeah they’re doing it well and they gotta get a they gotta get Tyrese to play some defense once they can get him to be passable I think they’ll be they’ll be scary for a while I agree yeah same here I mean I thought P’s couldna went after Obie but he he resigned today so I was like damn yeah that been a good one [Music] o [Music]
