Detroit (#15) - Pistons select Thaddeus Young

[WTFchris]

The reason I say Thornton is that I think he fits better here. He's more NBA ready, hustles, etc. Young would probably be a better pick for a team farther from competing because in 3-4 years he might be better than Thornton. This pick really depends on what Joe is planning. If he brings in Hill, we could take a guy like Young or Stuckey and let them develop. If we don't get Hill or Mo Pete, then we need immediate help for Tay or he's going to be worn down like he always is. In that case we need a guy ready to help. This is very hard without any FA or Trade knowledge right now.

Zekyl, I wasn't saying you thought Darko was a good move....nobody in their right mind would think that. What I meant by pointing that out is that maybe Joe will be gunshy with the young un-proven kid because of how Darko turned out.

I agree that Flip might be more willing to play Thornton over Young.

We can look at Amir and see how willing Flip is to get young players on the floor.

On a side note, Young has a 4.0 GPA at Georgia Tech. How do you do that while playing basketball? I'd like to see what classes he took.

Tied up with 20 minutes to go.

We either need more votes or some defectors, lol.

Yeah, they said Thornton doesn't have a high basketball IQ. I definately think Young has more upside. I just wonder if he'll rot on the bench and give up like White. Maybe he's smart enough to keep working hard like Prince. I'd be happy with either in the real draft (assuming Law and Hawes are gone).

I'm gonna throw my hat into the ring and put out a vote for Thad Young (pretend its in red).

Detroit selects Thaddeus Young

[Zekyl]

Fuck it. I don't know if this is what Joe would do, but TheThad
