So what if Green goes first?

@tinman and @DaDakota should be invited. they bring history and authenticity, and just overall pureness

 

What kind of question is this? It's obvious it's #FadeforCade.

 

Then all these endless threads debating Mobley/Green are for naught. 2 is not a bad spot to be in.

Hopefully Detroit falls in love with Green or Mobley.

 

If we had that many 99ers on that would rival Wrestle Mania for epic ness

 

Tatum’s freshman year: 17, 7, and 2 on 45/34/85 shooting splits

Cade’s freshman year: 20, 6, and 4 on 44/40/85 shooting splits

Tatum and Cade’s advanced stats during their 1 year in college

Tatum - .169 WS/40, 4.6 OBPM, 3.2 DBPM, 7.9 BPM, 57% TS

Cade - .170 WS/40, 4.7 OBPM, 3.1 DBPM, 7.8 BPM, 57% TS

their advanced stats are pretty much the same

much is made of Cade’s lack of athleticism and speed, but he still managed a 39% free throw rate in college…Tatum had a 38% free throw rate, so they’re identical in that too

 

I can see Cade doing every single thing Paul George displayed in this game…there was no phenomenal blow by speed…there was no Westbrook athleticism…just using your skill, height, and underrated strength to get where u want and get your shot off

Paul George is 6’8 with a 6’11 wingspan…Cade 6’8 with a 7’1 wingspan and already 220 lbs

 

It's just take Cade full stop.

But this isnt gonna happen let's get real lol

But I guess one scenario thats worth thinkimg about is are you willing to trade 23 and 24 to move up? If Detroit is big fans of Green that might convince them to give up Cade.

 

You'd rather QueenforGreen instead?

But the obvious pick is Cade.

Cade Cunningham
Kai Jones
Scottie Lewis

 

There is absolutely no reason why kpj is not starting. Wall can come off the bench.

I would love to see kpj, kmj,Tate, woods plus whoever we draft be the starting lineup. They need to take up the Suns model. Draft top 10 2 to 3 years then add veterans to the squad

 

Cade is the easy pick. Plus next year the draft is full of bigs. If we take mobley, there is a good chance we end up with twin towers after next year, plus Wood. So it's a revolution for the game.

 

Dwight Howard and Anthony Davis might disagree with this post. I would, too.

 

I don't get that reference D.....went over my head

"Queen"

The 2nd and #24, along with the future 1st round pick traded to the Rockets in the deal for Wood. That pick is heavily protected for Detroit, with the protection declining over time until the 1st round in 2027's draft. If the Rocks can't use that pick, the 10th or below, it turns into Detroit's 2027 2nd.

The stupid move on Detroit's part means that we could conceivably get their pick in the 1st round at some point during the next several drafts. It's been explained better elsewhere, but I think the Pistons would like those rights we hold back, instead of having it hanging over their heads. That might get us the 1st and Cade if they really value Green or Mobley. I would do it. They likely won't. We keep #23.

 

Somebody should make this same thread again in a week.

 

It's only fair.

 

If we’re gonna try and cast doubt on #1 overall picks, do we really want to go through the guys selected 2nd overall the past 20 years?

Wiseman, Ja, Bagley, Lonzo, Ingram, D-Lo, Jabari Parker, Oladipo, MKG, Derrick Williams, Evan Turner, Thabeet, Beasley, KD, LMA, Marvin Williams, Emeka Okafor, Darko, Jay Williams, Tyson Chandler, and Stromile Swift

that’s mostly a depressing list

 

Don't sell Garuba short. He has "Unicorn" potential written all over him.

and before you say weak competition......I will say look at USC schedule haha

Just messing with you Big D

 

If Green goes first, we laugh, then celebrate.

 

Not sold.

High floor, low ceiling.

3rd best player on a champion team.

 

The T-Mac of the Spanish league....
