Injuries are tough to predict! Greg Oden looked like a Shaq - his teammates gushed about how powerful he was his rookie year - but never able to stay healthy for more than a couple months. I think he'll be a monster.

You mentioned Oden. Yes, that's my point. 7-footers have significant health problems.

A 7-footer who stays RELATIVELY HEALTHY is the exception. The human body is not designed to have limbs that long. Even good centers (like Ewing) have knee/back problems.

I'll say that this prospect has health issues. He'll miss games. And if he doesn't get injured...how many Minutes can he play?

You could be right. Hard to say for sure.

He’s also a coach with a history of choking. He is now 0-10 in game 7’s. History matters. His shit team is the team he chose to coach.

Vastly different body types. Seems more like the other guy that got picked in that draft to me; Durant.

Weight is much more a problem than height. It's why the Pels would be wise to trade Williamson, ASAP... to the Blazers for their #3 pick?

The NBA doesn't give a rats ass for the Detroit Pistons. Years of sucking... never a high draft pick.

Cade Cunningham?

Let me rephrase that.... a high worthy draft pick.

Last 4 seasons 80-222 what in the Hell is going on over there? What kind of clown owns the team?

A complete non-factor - Clown show organization! .500 record a pipe dream right now even with Cunningham...

Pistons owner thought people would simply just march down to Detroit if the Pistons moved to Little Caesars Arena from the Palace... guy reneged on so many business deals. Bally Sports Detroit literally never pans the camera up.... because the upper bowl is completely empty. What a disaster. I don't even know where they get the attendance to put down?? It says 18,000.... it looks more like 5,200 tops. Might have to start using cardboard people cut outs.

The Pistons situation post Bill Davidson is a tragedy. Davidson loved the team, and the fans in Auburn Hills (about an hour north of Detroit) supported them even in the down years while he was alive.

Then Bill passed away, his idiot widow took over and nearly sold the team off to Pittsburgh! At this point, the half-dozen remaining Piston fans probably wish she had. Instead bozo Tom Gores took over and has buried this team deep into the gutter. Moved the team away from their core fanbase, hired dopes like SVG, and valued befriending the players over winning. Look what that has gotten him!

Doesn't help that the organization has been cursed with really bad luck in the lottery, moving down almost every year (except 2021), but there has also been some atrocious drafting and they've missed on mega-talents over and over again. Either way, this is a classic example of a franchise being horrible because of horrible ownership. I doubt the Pistons will be more than a play-in team until Gores does the right thing and sells them.

Cade will have a better career than wambabust.

Wannabe!? Last I checked Ja Morant was trying to be the new Arenas or Agent Zero if you will. Zero endorsements, zero playoff series won, zero All-NBA teams made
