Still. Pistons got ****ed

I mean you could basically say that about any player in the top 10 of any draft. Every top 10 player in every draft is drafted there for a reason. Hell the pistons roster is literally FULL of top 10 picks that if they were just better at this or that then they would be good players.

As it stands right now though Thompson is currently playing on the worst team in the league, maybe in history, and his play isn't doing much to change that. In fact his play is contributing to that.

Anywho, I bet they were hoping for wemby. Or at least a top 3 pick

He's not Wemby, so yeah they have to be disappointed in missing out there, but I think he has a decent chance of being the second best player out of this draft.

The things he needs to work on, shooting and turnovers, are things he can expected to get better at. Everything else he is great at.

Agreed. I guess I was just seeing the post more as saying it sucks when you suck harder than anyone and aren't rewarded with a top 3 pick rather than the pistons got stuck with such a crappy player.

I don't think the post was meant to be a knock on Thompson but more of a knock on the bad lottery luck the pistons had.

I had a good laugh watching the Detroit fans with paper bags over their head. At least they are making the best of it.

I wouldn't say "decent." Dude's shot is brutal. It's better than his brother's though, I guess.
 
Other than shooting and turnovers, K Dunn is good at everything else too.

I think Ausar is a player, I just don't think he is a franchise changer. That is what you debased your franchise for. It's not impossible that he becomes a shooter, it is improbable, however.

If his shooting doesn't improve it likely becomes a fatal flaw that keeps him from being a positive player. So I do understand that criticism, but disagree with everything else you said. He doesn't need to be a great shooter either, just good enough to keep defenses honest. I'm not sure it's that improbable.

And I think you were just being a little cheeky with the Dunn comment, but if you think Dunn is in the same league as Ausar I'm not sure you've ever really watched Ausar.
