    Yes sir, what I feel is the most telling thing is opposing coaches opinion / views.

    Coach of the player may be a lot of fluff whereas the opposing coaches may
    tell some details that scouts might miss.

    Example might be: likes to go right 90% of the time, doesn't shoot 3's in the 2nd
    half of games, weaknesses in man to man defense, see the court well,
    game plan strategies, nuances, tendencies or quirk's noted during games.

    Most coaches just promote their guy where opposing coaches tend to tell the
    whole story. I've only seen one coach throw his man under the bus. Les Miles
    on Sam Montgomery. If the Texans had only listened to the message, that
    wouldn't have been a wasted pick.

    Apologies, I try to stay gender neutral if the other person's profile does not
    indicate. I had a mental lapse in that post.

    Likewise.

    Your basketball .I.Q. challenges me and often forces me to
    step back and look at things from another angle.

    I can easily see Sengun being a top 5 player in this draft.

    I would rate him at 5, if he was quicker and stronger.

    The propaganda machine is alive and well. We don't have to raise a finger to generate our own buzz or hype over certain players. There's plenty of instigators out there doing it for us.

    This along with other rumors having us trading up or down are just based on every team's willingness to explore all options.

    I'm wondering if Cade has his heart set on being #1 over being (stuck) in Detroit or if he'd rather play somewhere else.
