THE DUKE Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I honestly think this is one of the best first rounds in years. 1-20 you are getting a potential real contributor on a good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it's an odd class because there aren't a ton of guys that project to be potent wing scorers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are more bigs at the top but there are quite a few wings in the 4-25 range. Its odd to have so many bigs at the top but all of those bigs have range. But I agree I really like this class and would be happy with adding a pick in the top 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the class has a high concentration of big men and bigger wings but I'd say for the most part that the wings in this years class are good prospects more for their overall games rather than their scoring prowess.

Texansfan713 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Real bad year to have a need at PG. Not really a fan of any of the PGs in this class, which sucks cause Rockets need one bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your ideal Pistons draft? I am still pretty high on Chet and love the fit with Cade. I wouldn't mind Ivey or Griffin Jr either in the top 5. Paolo seems like an ok pick but not sure he is a star in the league. More of a John Collins type that can be good but not a special game changer. Jabari has high bust potential IMO. I would love to trade Grant to the Blazers or OKC or Atlanta for a pick in the teens and land. If we were to get a pick in the 10-15 range, I would love to have Sharpe fall to us just because I love potential and high upside but that is sounding less likely. So if we grab Chet first and add a Mathurin, Branham, Daniels, Sharpe with him I think it would set us up along with having cap space for a max deal. Add an Ayton or Bridges to that core and we would have a good team next year (although unlikely given they will be matched most likely).

Texansfan713 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Im a fan of Malaki Branham. If he is there with the Nets pick I would take him without hesitation. He could be a better version of Jae'sean Tate with way better shooting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want the ball in his hands as his strength is getting to the rim and blowing by people but would have to work on his vision as he can be a black hole. Having a back court of Ivey and Green would be crazy athletic and quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a back court of Ivey and Green would be crazy athletic and quick. Neither one of them wants to pass the ball. I think Daniels is an excellent fit next to Green because he's a very good passer/playmaker and actually defends, just needs to improve as a shooter.

Chet's long term health is concerning for me personally but he does fit well with Cade. Yeah I see Paolo as like a Julius Randle in John Collins body if that makes sense, lol. Sharpe is the ultimate wild card, he can return to school and play still right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Sharpe is 100% staying in the draft. Whatever difference money wise between 1 in 2023 and 5-7 this year will be more than made up for by getting to his second contract a year earlier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad move on his part, the mystery and intrigue will probably boost his stock. Emoni Bates should've followed suit, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
