Ever had a doubt about Mobley or Cade
Barnes had me a little worried and I didn’t believe in Wagner
This was me. Wagner took me completely by surprise. Barnes looked stiff to me in college on the perimeter. He's got more wiggle with the ball than I thought. He's still a little clunky but dude is a big athletic muthafukka. Like his game a lot if he gets a reliable jumper. Now Mobley, I watched him all last year at USC cause I thought he would be where we ended up picking. Had no doubts that he would be effective, just worried if he would come out timid on offense. But he's shown he'll be just fine in that area. He's everything I thought he would be already in year 1.

I was right about Cade and Killian not being a good fit.:umad:

And time will prove Jalen to be better than Cade:manny:


Posts in this thread gonna backfire on some of y’all :youngsabo:
:what:Killian's not a good fit for anybody. Right now he's pretty much certified bum. Playing next to Green wouldn't change that. In fact it would probably be much worse because Green at this point is a more inconsistent shooter than Cade, so the floor would shrink even more. And no franchise with any sense should base the foundational pick of their franchise in how they will fit with Killian fukking Hayes. The thought of that being a rationale is mind boggling:mindblown:

Why was he drafted in the top ten then? :patrice:

It’s a Pistons L either way. :manny:

By your logic he’s already a wasted lottery pick at what.... 19 years old? :sas1:

No team throws a top 10 pick in the bushes after 1 season come on, breh :sas2:

if that’s what you want the pistons to do then :hubie:

:mjtf:YOU DO NOT BASE A POTENTIAL FRANCHISE CHANGING #1 PICK ON HOW YOU THINK THEY WILL FIT NEXT TO YOUR MID LOTTERY PROJECT!! Everything else is gibberish.

2-7. 8 points going into the fourth right now. Literally the worst guy in their starting line up

Not selling my Jalen stock.
And you shouldn't. He's clearly got tools to work with. My issue was with those that were so gung ho that Detroit was making a mistake in selecting Cade #1. And most of those people haven't seen a Pistons game since Chauncey was the pg, so they have no real idea of what's needed on this team. That and they evaluate players based on highlight reels:yeshrug:
