Official Detroit Pistons thread

Chet who? Pfffffff. Ivey officially my #1. No more debate for me barring something unexpected. Especially after Smith imploded vs Miami (FL).

That was the 2nd clutch iso 3 late in the game FYI.

This sucks. I wanted Ivey to stay in the #4 slot behind the bigs. He could end up being the #1 pick.

Smith shit the bed against Miami.

Don’t sleep on Mathurin. That dude is a player, too. I take him over Banchero.

Your boy might be moving up boards as well. Put up a solid 30 points last night. He had a great game

Banchero came up big too … vs MSU yesterday.
Top of the draft is great again. Plenty of options if the Pistons are unlucky with the lottery.

Appears like OKC refuses to win. Sucks… well, the farthest the Pistons will fall is 4th in odds.

Banchero gave them fits yesterday.

Mathurin, Banchero and Ivey all good yesterday. Ivey with big plays down the stretch at the end of both games so far in the tournament.

Banchero has an amazing shot for a 19 year old kid. He’s behind Smith and Chet but I’d have no problem with the Stones drafting him

[froot loops]

I would probably go with Smith or Banchero at the moment.

[jaadam4]

Any one of the top 4 will do the Pistons fine. I can’t believe how good they’re sitting with this draft and salary cap space. This team is going to be nice

The Villian dropping 45 on the Knicks at MSG was awesome.

[Cody_Russell]

I’ll be happy if he has a repeat performance tonight if his team defeats the Pistons.

NBA tankathon race heating up. Pistons appear to be a top 4 lock. #1 would be nice because the worst pick you could end up with is #5. Prime position to get one of the top guys.

1. Houston 18-54
2. Detroit 19-53
3. Orlando 20-53
4. OKC 20-52
…
5. Sacramento 25-48

We have to stay in that top 4 but some guys are making major jumps. They need to tank it out.

[froot loops]

They are going to win a few games but they are still a mash unit.

[jaadam4]

I wish S Lee would get more minutes. He was awesome last year

[froot loops]

He has been getting a lot of minutes lately because the backcourt is plagued with injuries. The Pistons are taking advantage of having the Motor City Cruise by letting him develop there when everyone is healthy. He can score but teams hunt him defensively when he is on the floor.

[jaadam4]

I didn’t watch the Gonzaga game, why in the world isn’t Holmgren involved more? The kid is shooting +50% from the floor. Why isn’t he used more?

Was it foul trouble?
