    Weird list. We're already missing Marbury off the top. And Jermaine O'neal? There were a lot of all-stars that year. I'm sure I'm forgetting some others. Shareef maybe?

    Yeah, just an AI query.

    I didn't have the time to verify it all (that would take forever), but it shows there are always All Stars in the draft. I'm sure it's missing plenty.

    **Added Marbury, Shareef, and Jermaine

    Yeah, but these drafts were loaded and people knew it. These players were SUPPOSED to be good. This draft has trash for talent son!

    Tyson could be really good. Elite handles at 6'7," crafty around the basket, good outside shot. He passes the eye test for sure.

    I do have trouble trying to gauge his impact on the game. The verticality around the basket isn't that impressive, either. Ultimately, I wouldn't be upset if we added him to the pile of wings we're accumulating.

    Even the 2000 draft--clearly the worst of the bunch--had a few players who made all-star games, as well as a few others who had solid if unspectacular careers. Nobody in here is expecting the Blazers to draft a HOF player next month, but it's not unreasonable to believe we can get a couple players good enough to start on a contender, and possibly even make an all star game. If Jamaal-freaking-Magloire could do it, someone available at 7 or later in this year's draft can do.

    The odds clearly favor at least all star from the 2024 draft within the next 10y. To bet otherwise would be fool hardy. I trust charts and graphs son.

    Hmm, that’d be interesting. That would indicate to me that the FO believes Reath is a real backup C. I do prefer Missi because I think having him on the floor is when I think I’d be the most comfortable with DA at PF. But if Bona could ever become a Claxton type of player one day and just live off defense and energy plays for a year or two, I would be fine with him here as well.

    I typically like the lotto picks to be do in all players with size, so I’d love to forego a Missi selection for a player with potentially more skills if Bona is a good third string C right away.

    I think we are getting to a point where we have a lot of good, not great, forwards.

    Camara—perfect size and great defense, no shot
    Walker—great rebounder and hustle guy, no shot
    Murray—good instinctual defender who will be able to handle the ball a bit, hasn’t gotten fully comfortable with his shot yet
    Rupert—potential to be a good defender and shooter who can handle the ball a bit, but none of that has translated yet

    We don’t have a forward who can be relied on to make plays for others, or shoot the ball. I like Tyson, but if he is a first rounder, I don’t think I’d like him for this team. For all the things that he brings, selecting Castle or Buzelis at #7 would remove all desire for me to want to draft him. I would also prefer George over Tyson, although I’m not sure how far apart they are on everyone’s boards.

    To add to our current core of forwards, I’d prefer a do-it-all guy who can really pass (Castle, Buzelis), a really raw high potential guy who can play in the GL for a year to let those other four develop (Salaun), or another prospect with some skill and outrageous measurements (Williams).

    Outside of those four, I’d rather wait until next draft to find our blue chip forward.

    I'm higher on Buzelis than I was during our discussions earlier this year. He has an edge to him I didn't notice. Detroit really likes him, so I'm not sure he falls to us. Castle is maneuvering his way to San Antonio or Washington...maybe that works and we pass on him (I would still take him. Who cares).

    That leaves Knecht, Risacher, Salaun and Williams.

    I dont like Salaun at #7. I'm less enthused on Williams than I was. I've been considering Knecht more the last couple days. If Risacher gets to that level of offense by age 23, we would be thrilled. By that time, Knecht will be in his prime.

    Sam Vecenie just did a 45 min podcast on Risacher's big game that highlights my worries with him. Overrated defense and no ability to create. Everything comes in a straight line. Despite this, he still nails threes with bad footwork. Imagine if he fixes the footwork. He's really a great fit as an off-ball player who can run the floor at 6'9"+

    I digress. We're creating a pile of wings that all need development. Knecht would probably start at SF sooner than all of them. Salaun, you throw in the G-League. Risacher gets last year's Rupert treatment. Or, we take Clingan and tank for next year's elite crop of wings. I could go for that, too.

    I wonder if the hiring of Trajan Langdon as President of operations changes things. Probably not.

    Langdon's agent when he played was....... Art Tellem
    Arn is Vice Chairman of the Pistons
    Matas Buzelis's agent is Michael Tellem, Arn's son.
    Senior Director of Pro Scouting/Senior Director of Player Personnel on the Pistons is Eric Tellem, Arn's other son.

    Still, I wonder how Bruzelis fits with the Pistons. Do they like Ausar at SF and want Bruzelis at PF?
    Are they happy with Ivey or would Sheppard be a better fit next to Cade?
