Official 2013 NBA Draft Thread

Also, even though it may be one of the few things he excels at now, his shot blocking is legitametaley elite. His ability to use either hand when blocking shots is impressive. Can get up and alter shots at awkward angles because of this ability.

Rumors of #13 and Shawn Marion for a second round pick this year and next year from the Cavs.
 
And this is what I meant about the reporter last page:
 

I will hopefully have the necessary confirmation from the right channels (read: sources I can really trust) before the day ends and will give ALL the details. The only hint I can give right now is this:
12:09


Sam Amico:
It involves the No. 1 pick

 

[jonathanlambert33]

12:09?

 

[elcheato]

12:09 was the time of the message he sent lol. The "hint" was it involves the #1 pick. I think the Cavs want to move down and take Len

 

[RipCity32]

Started to get very worried the Pistons end up with Zeller or McCollum. Seems almost inevitable.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Why would that worry you? Especially CJ.

 

[Teagz]

The pistons do not need another combo guard.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I don't think the Pistons are really in position to pass on a good player because they have a bunch of below average combo guards.

Not to mention Stuckey is an expiring.

 

[The Young One]

With what's happened with Len & what happened with Dion last year. Does it benefit top prospects to even work out?

 

[RipCity32]

I don't think the Pistons are really in position to pass on a good player because they have a bunch of below average combo guards.Not to mention Stuckey is an expiring.

Nor are we in a position to take another combo guard or a backup bigman. If Trey or MCW are there and we don't take one of them in favor of Zeller or CJ, that would be completely moronic. Neither of them have any place on this team.

Also Stuckey is hot garbage. Him expiring is irrelevant to me.

 

[bosoxlover12]

tbh I'm not sure how well Trey fits the team with BK7, but passing on MCW would be dumb

 

[jonathanlambert33]

That totally depends on if they view Burke and MCW as better players, which they may not.

The bottom line is the Pistons can't pass on a better player for a lesser one just because it fills a need. You have no idea where the Pistons will be in five years.

 

[RipCity32]

Treading water if they take a combo guard or a big. I'll tell you that much.

 

[RipCity32]

BK would have to become the 6th man. Couldn't start him with Trey.

 

[elcheato]

With what's happened with Len & what happened with Dion last year. Does it benefit top prospects to even work out?

Depends on the situation. With Waiters, Chris Grant is a big proponent of advanced stats, and Waiters graded out very well, as did Tristan Thompson for that matter.

 

[elcheato]

I'm sold on Alex Len, bring him on.
 
And by that, I mean I'm going to cry when we take Otto Porter

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Detroit has McCollum in for a workout today, btw.

 

[elcheato]

Trey Burke has a tattoo dedicated to a Triple A baseball team. Should he slide down draft boards for poor decision making?

 

[elcheato]

Detroit has McCollum in for a workout today, btw.

While we're on Detroit

Sources close to Detroit say Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is a legit choice there for Joe Dumars. Currently projected 12 to OKC.

 

[elcheato]

I just looked at the first page, and there I am pimping Otto Porter, Adonis Thomas & LaQuinton Ross. I must have been high.
