Agree that?s what i thought was going to happen

I was reading Cade's profile; Weakness: Turnover-prone; averaged more turnovers than assists at Oklahoma State. Needs to clean that up.

wait...I thought the lottery was rigged?

The Piston's biggest need is SG and it seems that the everyone is saying that Cunningham is the best player in this draft. Perfect!

Cunningham is considered a PG, but in the same way that Luka Doncic is also considered a PG. He'll be fine playing with another ball handler.

And Luka Doncic is the compairson player that keeps coming up, except he's a better pure shooter than Luka, but obviously not as far along in his development and strength.

If the pistons don't take Cade, they will be laughed out of the league. What he did in his freshman - covid affected season was amazing. A year or two of normal offseason workouts with his skill and work ethic and he'll be a top 10 player in the league. Also depends on the players around him, but he has everything he needs to succeed individually at the very least

The Pistons have three 2nd round picks this year too.

37
42
52

Saw this mock draft where they took
Cunningham
Marcus Bagley
JT Thor
Johnny Juzang

That would be one hell of a draft

Could they really afford all that. Maybe trade back into round by throwing some picks out there ? Heck maybe that would be to expensive too

if you mean afford by being able to pay them all, yes, 2nd rounders are basically free players. As far as roster spots, it appears that they have 9 guys under contract for next year.

Grant
Plumlee
Hayes
Jackson
Bey
Stewart
Doumboya
Okafor
Sirvydis

My guess is they trade one or two of their 2nds for future picks. It looks like they don't have a 2nd in 2024, 2025, or 2026

Surprised nobody here has mentioned Jaylen Green. If anyone will unseat Cade it is him. Don?t sleep on him just because he was in the g league and went under the radar.

I think the issue is that Cade just does too much in the modern NBA. Green is the better athlete, but Cade is the better everything else. Green doesn't pass, or handle, or shoot, or defend like Cade. Cade is bigger, too.

There's certainly a chance that Green fills out and grows into a league best scorer like Bradley Beal, but Cade has Luka upside. If you are looking at the best version of either player, you want the guy that can be a primary ballhandler and elite shooter like Cade. And if you are looking at the worst case scenario, you still take the guy that will be a passable creator and average shooter (still Cade).

Obviously no one has a crystal ball. The best player in this draft could be picked in the late first round. But if we're betting, skill is the more likely winning hand.

What about that white dude pretty boy on Gonzaga?

They seemed to like to show him on TV during the tournament.
