2020 NBA Draft - Covid edition

Who plays better defense Hayes or Halliburton? So the Pistons were not the only team to pass on Hailburton. There must be a reason he fell so far ?

10 different sites/writers 10 different answers.

It's been a long time since I've seen so many experts go in so many directions on who should've taken who.

Does this mean that Wood is out in Detroit?

From Twitter . Can?t remember the guys name.

What job security? That's seven new #Pistons tonight with only Luke Kennard going out: Killian Hayes, Isaiah Stewart, Saddiq Bey, Saben Lee, Rodney McGruder, Trevor Ariza, Tony Bradley

To add on to what I said earlier about Ariza not playing, Bruce Brown and Jordan Bone are gone. I don't think they're as long jammed as it may have appeared initially.

Also, their might be some extended rosters for to COVID next season.

So, they added 4 players via the draft last night. Also added Ariza & Rodney McGruder via trades. They lost Kennard.

So, right now the following players are under contract

Can play
Griffin
Ariza
Snell
Rose

Bench at best
Doumbouya
MyKhailiuk
Thomas
Patton
Bradley
Musa
McGruder

Rookies
Hayes
Stewart
Bey

Lee (G-league)

I'm probably missing something / someone.

This really looks like a shitty team. Top 3 pick next year. The best case scenario is Rose plays lights out and the Pistons can ship him off to a contender for a future first rounder. I am surprised they couldn't get one for him last year.

Now that we have Killian, we should be moving on from Rose. I could see holding onto him until the draft in case they picked a different position, but the market looks pretty good now. Schroeder landed a first rounder, and Rose should be considered at least as good as him.

There are still good teams that could use more shot creation, and a 32 year old on an expiring contact shouldn't be taking any minutes from the new potential face of the team. I'd love to grab a lottery protected pick from GS or Milwaukee (if the Bojan deal falls through).

Not sure how shitty we will be but I suspect the 1st rounders will get playing time. And plenty of it.

A proper rebuild. I love it.

If Weaver would've been here last season, Rose would've been shipped for sure. After watching this draft, there is no doubt in mind.

I loved to draft. Had one dart and Weaver turned it into to 3 darts in the top 20 picks. Hopefully some of them hit ! Get a top pick next year and maybe ship Rose for some more young picks ! Yup a proper rebuild for sure.
