nola's post lottery mock

Just put it this way, would you rather a guy like Dion Waiters or a guy like John Henson?

Answer should be simple lol. I do agree yall will probably go one of the UNC bigs though.

 

[RipCity32]

Well probably Henson. IDK why everyone is so high on Waiters. I don't really like him, and like I said, we have no room for him.

Never been a Stuckey fan, the part of his game is his scoring and he gets a really inefficient 15 a game.

I mean he isn't going to set the world on fire or anything, but he certainly is not hot garbage.

 

[Elite]

What exactly is he good at?

 

[RipCity32]

His FG% is bad because he thinks he can shoots 3's, when he really can't. You take the 2 attempts from behind the arc he takes and he is like a 45% shooter. He's real good at getting to the rim and a solid defender.
This season wasn't a good one for him because he came in out of shape because of his contract issues. And was then injured basically all season with naggy injuries. Basically first and last month of the season were a wash because of his physical shape, then injuries all during the last month.

The guy can just fill it up. He's a powerful penetrator who attacks the rim time and time again and has good ball handling abilities. He has PG skills at the off guard. Also has a developing three point shot. Much better fit for the NBA game than the college game.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

You're right about Waiters but there's no way the Pistons take a guard, period/

 

[RipCity32]

I see what you are saying bout Waiters, and could be totally right, but I don't see him panning out to be as great as you described. But haven't really got to see much of his game, so I probably shouldn't critique.

 

[Pugz]

if we want a guard i want lamb. but we wont take a guard and the rumor with the team is we still might want a center to slide moose to the four..hence us taking zeller.

 

[RipCity32]

I will be so unbelievably upset lol.

 

[Pugz]

dont get me wrong, id like the dude if we had more talent and were competing. hed be a good big off the bench but right now we dont need him and we dont need to move greg to the four.

 

[RipCity32]

I just hate the kid's game. He has "glue piece" written all over him. And at this point, we don't need anything near a glue piece. I'd rather roll the dice and take a chance on a guy like Henson or Jones. To be honest, I would not be the least bit upset with trading the pick. But Zeller is far from what this team needs right now. And yes, I have no interest to move Greg to the 4. He played at a near All-Star caliber at the 5.

id rather have those two, too. id rather have sully if hes there but he doesnt mesh too well with gregs game. id even rather take a guard for brandon to have in the next couple years.

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah I agree, but Joe Dumars probably feels like Zeller is the best option there. I'm sort of starting to dread the draft.

 

[Pugz]

joe said hed take the bpa no matter what position they play. we dont have the best history at taking project players but id chance pj3 or lamb if i was picking and they were still on the board.

 

[RipCity32]

Well maybe he will take a point guard then, or Zeller. FTW!

 

[Pugz]

the one and five are the only two places we dont need to look at. id take rivers though. fuck bynum. rivers can backup brandon and still play the two some.

I don't know why Monroe is considered a bona-fide 5 that can't be replaced... He should be a 4.

 

[RipCity32]

Just think a guard would be a complete waste. We all know Dumars won't move Gordon and has a hard on for Stuckey. Any guard would just be buried on the bench. We oughta just sign a vet PG to teach Knight some shit.
