I think there are 5 prospects very likely to go before Det -- Okafur, Towns, Winslow, Mudiay and Russel. Other bugs that might go early include Cauley-Stein and Porzingis. Lyles could also be in that mix. If Det gets lucky with the lottery I think they take Winslow. If they pick 8-9, I think they'll choose between Kaminsky, Herzonia and S Johnson.

He is the last "top 10" player the Pistons need.

Justise and Frank would be my first tier if I were making the pick. Lean toward Justise if they think they are signing Monroe... Frank if not. Maybe that Euro SF with that good shot and Sam Dekker would be my fall back options.Rashean Mathis: "I'm an egg guy. Last year we didn't have (the omelet station).

However, I don't want to think negatively. This is the year that the Pistons get lucky in the lotto and land in the top 3!

I mean he just got defended by two future NBA mainstay centers and still won out and did a pretty good job on defense himself. We'll see how he does against somebody Okefor's size tonight but I suspect his shooting will solve that matchup issue on offense (defense is another matter...)
He's probably not quite the rebounder he should be at his size, but really how good does he need to be with rebounding on a team with Andre Drummond.Rashean Mathis: "I'm an egg guy. Last year we didn't have (the omelet station). I didn't complain, but I was dying inside."

Kaminski has changed my mind a lot in this tournament, offensively he should be good. He can shot threes, drive and work in the post. He has to improve his handles or he will be a turnover machine out deep. Defensively he is going to have trouble. He needs to live in the weight room. The thing to like about him is his continuous improvement. That is not a small thing to consider, he has made himself into a fabulous college player. The question is he topped out or can he improve more?

IMO the floor for Kaminski would be Channing Frye without the 3 or 4 years he took to develop his shot. The best case scenario would be the middle point between Brad Miller and Pao Gasol. He'd be a really solid pick IMO and an obvious nice pairing with Andre.
He played 37 minutes vs Kentucky and never slowed down a beat. He's no stiff.Rashean Mathis: "I'm an egg guy. Last year we didn't have (the omelet station). I didn't complain, but I was dying inside."

Plus every time he hit a big three we could all do the Frank the Tank robo boxer move (anti-aircraft gun move?).
