Me either. I guess they are comparing him to a dwade with less blackleticism or a guy like vinnie johnson/jason terry instant offense off the bench. But he doesn't possess not one elite type skill. Austin Rivers has those even the dude from Washington I am not seeing this in Waiters.
My 2 picks too. Woo, I just don't see Henson putting on weight. Hasn't done it in 3 years and his frame doesn't really look like he can put much on. In essence, we'd be drafting a weakside shotblocker with limited offense. Yeah, it improved over time, but it's still kinda weak, and would he even be able to hold position against NBA 4's.
Moultri, while not the block specialist Henson is, may be more athletic and certainly better offensively.
PJ3 has the biggest upside of all of them, but isn't a 4. He's got superstar talent with a role player mentality. But I still think a major part of that was that he was playing out of position. He's a perimeter player that has the size to plAy inside. If utilized properly, I think he can be special. He's smooth and fluid with the ball, but didn't get to showcase it at Baylor. Plus we can end the Daye experiment and put Prince out to pasture. These pf prospects don't wow me at this spot, and we'll probably be a lottery team again next year anyway, so I'm going with the player with the highest ceiling. Frank and Dumars, don't fukk this boy up by forcing him inside...
With the 9th pick the Detroit Pistons select Perry Jones III.
dammitwasnt it Ford that even took it a step further talking about he could spend some time a of too. I was reading that shyt like
"What player were you watching?"

Dump Deng on you? So Deng is trash now?
He's not worth the 7th pick imo. Not at his salary. I'd rather keep Biedrins as the backup 5 for defensive and rebounding purposes. I think Jeff Taylor can do most of the things Deng can do. And Taylor could probably be had with the 30th pick or we could move up to get him.

Biedrins isn't worth a bag of potato chips.

Hard to disagree with this. But still, he can defend the post.

You're SEVERELY underrating Deng.
If it's the flash you're looking for...you won't get it from him..but he does literally everything you need from a SF @ a winning level..

very subjective opinion but IMO josh is the better shooter, is a much better slasher, and is just as adept at rebounding and playing defense..
too bad he hasnt been healthy since 09
