The Lawrence Frank/Avery Johnson Awful Basketball offense. What’s a fast break?

And get whom, exactly? This draft is pretty weak isn’t it?

Seth Jones, to try to convince Mike Ilitch to buy the team.

Right. He needs to be the classic Jason Terry type 3rd guard.

Jason Terry was the starting point on a team that went to the Finals.

Cannot wait to land Olidipo in Detroit. I’ve watched him play a ton this year, and I am always impressed. But that’s just the eye test. How does he do against the very best? 8 games vs ranked foes: shot 59.8% 17.6 points, 6.9 rebs, 1.6 asts, 2.4 steals 1 block per game. IU was 7-1 in those games
Please draft him

He’s just not a PG and doesn’t really have the size to be a 2 guard. He’s a small 6-3. Again, make him a Jason Terry type that plays 20-30 minutes off the bench depending on how hot he is.

Honestly wouldn’t mind drafting Marcus Smart either to be Detroit’s Harden and let Knight play Jeremy Lin’s role.

Can the kid play? If he can play, you live with that while he’s developing. Is he a knucklehead? Does he work hard? Those type of players get it figured out by the third year.

I agree but if porter gone I’d take Olidapo.

Typical Lawrence Frank boring offense. The problem is Knight was projected to be a PG and it’s apparent he’s not. Slide him to SG and he’ll go 7 for 11 one night and 3 for 15 the next.

yeah they should go princeton style and you can make it work with 2 combo guards. he still a decent young player though. not the right match for him.

What kind of offense do the Pistons run? If you’re asking a combo guard to play in a traditional 1-2 set, then there are several issues at play.

Seriously? Literally the NEXT play after the DeAndre dunk, he went right to the rack, got fouled, and made both FTs

scalia ruining the lazy narrative with facts!

Cavs and Pistons, both teams need either Porter or Olidapo. Hopefully the Pistons lose out.

He’s down for 3-4 weeks. At most he plays 8 games. Not sure if they bring him back to play 4 games.

Cavs shutting down Fragile Iriving. We’re fighting for that #1 pick as well.
