That would be nice
but it's not realistic. as far as Rudy goes, he lived up to good and bad expectations and he's basically been the same player since year 2.
and manyfaces, Zeller would be awesome for Detroit. They really could use another big. The guards there are meh, but Stuckey and Gordon aren't going anywhere.
Believe me, I want another big, just not the ones that will be available at 9. I'm realThat would be nice

about Zeller. I love the way he runs the floor, but ideally I want the big that plays with Monroe to compliment him in the sense that they mask his deficiencies, mainly shotblocking and athleticism to play above the rim. Strong rebounding is a need too, because Monroe could definitely use some help. Monroe's offensive game is versatile enough where he can pretty much play with a 4 that will step outside, or a low post banger, so it could probably work with Zeller on the offensive end, but shotblocking would still be lacking. Plus I have extreme prejudice against U.S. born white bigs. Love is an anomally. I still don't trust em. I'll say the same about his brother next year even though he looks pretty good. And me and you talked about this before and disagreed, but I want the Pistons as far away from Sully as possible. Would LOVE to get Robinson, but need to get lucky for that. I have no problem with undersized pf's with good athleticism and high motors, long as their position is clearly defined. Lobe Faried's game and Robinson is much more skilled.And I forgot to add Quincy Miller to my list too. Another year removed from that acl tear with his size and skills could me a good look. And I'll admit I'm still enticed by PJ3's talents. I firmly believe that any team drafting him to be a 4 will be autarically setting themselves up for failure. I think he wants to be a 3 and that's where his skills are best utilized. I think Baylor continuing to play him at the 4, plus his passive attitude obviously, both contributed to his underwhelming soph year. I wouldn't trip if Dumars went there either. Long as they admit that the Austin Daye experiment is done and was a failure. I don't need to see him getting 30 mind a game to see that he doesn't have it. Any 6'11 guy that's scared of the paint should not be able to call themself a Piston. Bill Laimbeer is rolling over in his grave.

Hey, you never know.
As for Rudy, he'd be fantastic as number 2 or 3, I think he panned out nicely.
Unrelated, I think the Wolves should look at Fab Melo if he's available, would be a nice compliment to Love & Pekovic.
In what way?

What school did he go to?
If they use the pick at all, they just have to address the SG position if they're not gonna address it in free agency. I don't see Derrick going anywhere and while the front court will be depleted once we let everyone go, at least the starters would be set. We don't have a SG starter unless they hand the reins over to Lee (and if they did I want an upgrade from Williams). Getting a backup shotblocking C is a big need too, but they can't enter next season with the same wings as they did this year.

LOL, I forgot about your teams complete lack of luck with these Syracuse products.
I think Melo could slip to the 2nd round, so taking a SG/SF at 18 is imperative. But, if Melo is there after 18 and teams are selling their picks, I'd try and buy one for him.

Doable. It wouldn't hurt to overpay for Asik.
Normally around this team I'd hear murmurs about who they like and I haven't heard much. I know they're in Europe scouting Shved and Teodosic, now if they somehow get one of those two, then I don't think we draft a wing, but I'd absolutely trade off Wayne Ellington for a 2nd rounder high enough to get a guy like Festus Ezeli or Kyle O'Quinn.
It just looks like there's too many reasonable options at SG/SF that we can use to pass up one of em even if he's not a major player for the team next year. All I know from Alex Kennedy is that they want a secondary ball handler that can shoot and maybe play some D, which means it's all up to Derrick Williams to get his shyt together, because he has it in him to be that 2nd/3rd scorer behind Love and Pekovic.

Bradley Beal would be a good look. Can any of these wing players create off the bounce tho? Who ever can should be the Wolves pick. Hopefully getting a big man prospect later on too.

wings that can create off the dribble:
J. Lamb (although he doesn't do a great job finishing, he can create)
D. Lamb
Wroten (if you think he's a SG)
Rivers
Waiters
Fournier
Perry Jones
Quincy Miller
Terrence Jones
wings that are aight:
Barton
Taylor
Harkless
wings that can't:
Beal
Barnes
Ross (he's trying but he's still subpar)
Jenkins
Middleton
Buford

close eye on
Crowder (disappointed in his wing span. I thought it would be better than 6'8''. Even Rubio has a longer wingspan)
Kim English
Drew Gordon
Moe Harkless
Orlando Johnson
Khris Middleton
Kyle O'Quinn
Kevin Murphy
Mike Scott
Drew Gordon
These guys' stocks can fluctuate so much based on this combine

Can't wait for the lottery. Never in the history of the lottery will a fanbase be so happy to get the 7th pick if we get it.

for once this is a pressure-less lotto for me. When NO wins it, I can't even be mad. I'm just glad to have a pick, and it woulda been the pick we woulda had if we made 8th seed.
