I know it's a little late as the draft is this Thursday night but come in here and discuss prospects, who will/should go number one, who you want your favorite team to take, and the aftermath of the draft once it is over.
As for my Pistons I'm actually hoping they trade down and get multiple picks. There is a rumor that if they don't like what's there at 8 then there is a trade on the table with Houston where the Pistons give up the 8 for the Rockets 14 and 23. That would be ideal for the Pistons as they could grab a couple solid players to add to an already young, talented roster. If they do stay at 8 I'd like to see them take either Kawhi Leonard or Tristan Thompson. Small forward and power forward are both needs and both guys would bring a great defensive presence.
I'd also love Kemba Walker for Detroit but believe he will be gone. Leonard could be gone as well so that would make Thompson and Bismak Biyombo my two favorites for Detroit. Either way they need an impact player whether it's a scorer and winner like Walker or a great defender like the big guys I mentioned.
As far as the number one overall pick I think the Cavs should go with Kyrie Irving. Had he not gotten injured he would easily be the consensus number one but from the little that was seen of him he was spectacular. Derrick Williams played at the four in college and I think his transition to guarding some of the quicker threes will be a little tougher then people think. Kyrie is more of a sure thing as he is in that Chris Paul type of mold.
