Detroit Pistons: Draft Day Open Thread

Draft day has finally arrived. Tonight at 7:30 PM EST on ESPN the 2009 NBA Draft will take place and officially mark the beginning of the Pistons "rebuilding" phase (well, more so than preceding events).
The Pistons will have four picks (15th, 35th, 39th, and 44th overall) in tonight's draft. We've had a few mock drafts and we've discussed almost every last possibility, so it's exciting that we'll actually get to see what really goes down.
Every pick is important, as any GM wants to get players that will be able to come in, make the team, and contribute eventually. In those terms, I'm hoping Joe Dumars can bat at least .500 with the four draft picks tonight.
So who will Dumars add to the following list of his past draft picks?
Mateen Cleaves
Brian Cardinal
Rodney White
Mehemet Okur
Tayshaun Prince
Darko Milicic
Carlos Delfino
Andreas Glyniadakis
Rickey Paulding
Jason Maxiell
Amir Johnson
Alex Acker
Will Blalock
Rodney Stuckey
Arron Afflalo
Sammy Mejia
Walter Sharpe (for D.J. White)
Deron Washington.
2009: ????, ????, ????, ????
This is your Draft Day Open Thread, so come and share your thoughts while watching or listening to the NBA Draft. The Pistons' four picks will give us plenty to discuss, but it will be interesting to see where everyone else falls in the first and second round, too. Hopefully we can get a good crowd; I consider this a building phase for this community.

I might come...
but I probably work til 8…but that means I should be back by the time the Pistons pick.
I just finished my mock draft on my blog, http://nickandroll.blogspot.com/
What I projected for Detroit:
15. Austin Daye
35. Jeff Pendergraph
39. Rodrigue Beaubois
44. Robert Dozier
I seriously doubt we end the night with 4 draftees, but I was just working with the board so far.

So you voted that we'll make a trade?
I think you’re right. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.

by BennieBladesFan on Jun 25, 2009 3:13 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I just pray its not...
BJ Mullins. This kid has bust written all over him. Darko II. I doubt T-Williams will fall to us but if does that is my #1 choice. But here is my projections:
15. Eric Maynor
35. Heytvelt/Pendergraph – Would be happy with either, if not both, taking the other at 39
39. Toney Douglass
44. Dante Cunningham
by Tommy G on Jun 25, 2009 3:33 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I like where Tommy is coming from, especially with Heytvelt. Cunningham is also a good value pick. All I know is that Joe better not pass on getting a point guard, there are too many decent point guards to pass on them all.

I completely agree
For as weak as this draft has been tabbed, the point guard class is pretty deep and strong

I don't think this is as big as the Shaq deal
First of all they lose Alston who was solid down the stretch for the Magic. They may lose Turkoglu, too.

They needed to move Alston
They have Nelson coming back, and I’m sure Alston didn’t want to come off the bench. (Guess he gets to do that in New Jersey.

ORl had to do..
something to counter Cleveland. They will prolly now lose Hedo, but if they could find a way to keep him. I think they are still the favorites in the East.
by Tommy G on Jun 25, 2009 6:28 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah if they somehow get Hedo to come back, they'll be stacked.
I still think Shaq makes the Cavs better than Carter makes the Magic.

I disagree.
Shaq needs the offense to run through him to be effective. I don’t think LBJ and Shaq can share the ball that much.

Maybe not
But Shaq has never been unsuccessful with a “SG” star (I know ‘Bron isn’t your average SG). He helped the Magic to the Finals with Hardaway (who didn’t pan out to be that great), won titles with Kobe, won title with Wade….I guess we’ll just have to wait and see, but I think a motivated Shaq and Lebron makes for a pretty lethal pairing.

Ok, I'm just thinking aloud
But if Detroit is going to pick up Ben Gordon, why did they not take that Boston trade? Before I get killed for saying this, I understand that they would be giving up a lot and it wasn’t really a fair trade, but they could have gotten out of Hamilton’s extension, upgraded to a true point guard and opened up even more room for the hallowed free agent class of 2010.
It would have meant another rebuilding year, but I don’t think you can just sign boozer and gordon and expect to compete in the east.

I admit
I like the trade now a whole lot more than I did when I first heard about it, and 24 hours after.
But why is Boston contemplating trading away their young, true, point guard who just got done nearly averaging a triple double in the playoffs? A) They’re selling high B) There are problems with Rondo’s attitude C) Both. Apparently Rondo was late to a bunch of team meetings and practices this season. There has to be something wrong there or else Boston wouldn’t even be THINKING about trading him. Let alone allegedly making offers involving him. That’s my opinion on it. If that’s the case, I don’t want a guy like that messing up the locker room chemistry in Detroit. Maybe that’s why Dumars instantly denied.

The best thing I heard about Curry is this
He was a rookie head coach. You can’t expect him to make the right call everytime. You have to understand that he is going to make mistakes at times. Now he just needs to learn from them. He won’t have two huge egos this year (AI and Wallace) so he will have more control over the team. I think if management can quality players, he can be a good coach.

I met Goran at a bar in EL
Sadly, he was a big dick.

Thats to bad
I went to a signing with all of the Sr.’s from this years team before the spring football game and he seemed pretty nice. I had a pic of him Backing down Adrein. He chatted with me for a min or two about the game. Seemed like a nice guy

Doesn't really bother me
Because all four players weren’t going to make the team.

I don't think four rookies are making this team

I would have rather had Budinger rather than Jerebko
But that is just because I know more about Budinger.

I think Daye makes the squad
But you have a point

Daye and Summers for sure make the team
But I see Jerebko going back to Europe and Budinger would not playing much and maybe going D-League

I mis-read your comment
I thought you said that ALL rookies wouldn’t make the team as in NONE. That’s where my koolaid comment came from. My bad, man.

Or is that the Koolaid talking?

No
The Koolaid I drink tells me that Boozer and Gordon will not be the answers the Pistons need.

I can't blame you because I would like to see this Villanueva talk come true
But his track record doesn’t say that he will turn around this team.

I'm out
Picks looked good-ish, obviously don’t know much about draft but we got some first round guys second round, so that’s nice. Peace, and Go Pistons!

I'm not sold on Daye, but I don't think it was a bad draft
Solid players that will help the team a little this year, but some solid blocks to build off of. (And finally some backup SF help).
