Love the magic drafting Tristian da Silva, basically another wing Franz Wagner, with better passing and a good shooter which is what the magic needed bad
Edey is an amazing PnR weapon because he's so insanely big. He sets big screens, you can't switch a perimeter player on to him because he can post them up, you don't want to hedge because he's so much bigger than the tag guy who will struggle to contain him, and in general his roll gravity is absurd. He's gonna get his points and rebounds just by being on the court, he's great at sealing guys off whenever he gets a positional advantage, him just being so big and strong with touch creates offense by itself. He doesn't need to emphasize the post game to be productive on offense, and that value by itself is enough to keep him on the floor for starter minutes so long as he's at least an adequate drop big.
Honestly pick and roll isn’t where I want to really put him. Hopefully he gets to that point but I’m not sure I want him moving that much. Guys cut him off early in the rotation and now he’s stuck around the nail.
Since you have expressed on several occasions your unfavorable desire for some of the prospects such as "the finger nail painting guy", "the IRS man" AND " BATAS MUZELIS ", I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall to see your facial expressions and hear how many F-BOMBS you dropped when one of them fell to your Bulls (" BATAS MUZELIS"!!)😂😆 ** On a serious note though, a big shout out for your kind acknowledgement and best wishes for the future success of each one of these young men that have dedicated many years of blood, sweat and tears to finally reach the destination of their journey to the big basketball stage of the NBA❤🏀❤
Even tho we have 3 banners, it has been miserable to be a Pistons fan since Mr Davidson died. My reaction was the same as yours when we drafted Ron Holland, WTF are we doing. Feels bad for the kid, because he is going to a dysfunctional situation, where he doesn't fit.
Jarred McCain over Dalton Knecht or Ja’Kobe Walter really threw me as a sixers fan. Not sure if I like it :/ Oh well, Paul George is coming to save us ;) Really appreciate your time, I know you’re too busy at a time like this. Great video!
I think Edey will be fine. People are over thinking him, yet drafting guards who can’t shoot and other big men who can’t finish around the rim. Doesn’t make sense.
@@_AVC_ He has great durability, defends without fouling, bothers every shot near him, gobbles up rebounds, sets good screens, and is a sure thing within 6 feet from the rim. Plus he has shown he can knock down shots out to the NBA 3-point line in practice and a little in FIBA. I know he isn’t a hyper athlete, but how many starting centers in the league on good teams right now are? I think the Sarr archetype is overrated. Lively is a success story; but I have seen too many Wiseman, Hayes, Caulie Stein, Len, Noel, etc.
@@BBallRambling I think Sarr fits a different type of player than the ones listed personally. His all around defense against pros is actually pretty nuts to watch on film. Back to Edey though. I think he’s an NBA talent don’t get me wrong, but that’s why I wanted to define “fine”. Cuz will he stick around? Yeah I think so, but what level do we want him to get to? I don’t see him being an active offensive weapon but that’s not the end of the world, it just caps him in my mind. I’ll sign up for a guy his size playing defense and rebounding off the bench, that sounds awesome.
@@_AVC_ With Sarr, we will see. And with Edey I think he can be a starter for a playoff team pretty much right off the bat. He won’t be the best player on a playoff team at this very moment, but you never know. He has gotten exponentially better every year since he started playing basketball 6 years ago.
Surprised Bronny didn’t go number one. (Im kidding) on a more serious note though I’m curious why Sarr didn’t want to go to Atlanta in particular. I know they aren’t in the best of situations but neither is Washington?
Really happy as a raptors fan. I was really upset that Ware, Bub, and Edey were all gone. Those were my wishlist guys. Then somehow Ja’Kobe fell. Tyler smith dropping out round 1 was not my expectation, so I hope he comes home tomorrow Lastly holy shit. I feel so bad for pistons fans. Its 2024 and they build a team of bad shooters around cade. If cade wants out i dont blame him.
@@Htiy Yeah it’s a weird start for this new staff… This is my thing though, certain franchises never get it together for a reason and it starts at the top. Obviously let’s hope this is something that works out, but even if it does it sent the wrong message.
Totally agree on the Pistons - it's a confusing pick at best, and I don't want to say how I really feel about it. How could they possibly put any combination of Holland-Ausar-Ivey on the court together and expected to win (all drafted at pick 5)... so frustrating. Just wish they would focus on helping Cade. Maybe they will in Free Agency, but this doesn't fill me with confidence.
Clingon decided to go on a slide this morning, but Portland is a good spot for him. Dillingham to Timberwovles has the potential to be interesting. I'm still holding out for Edey to do well, I think his first couple of months in the league are going to be super telling. Jazz did well with Cody Williams (I think the jazz are a big winner with the draft, especially after getting Collier). I'm an Aussie, so I am inclined to like the bucks pick but I don't know how he'll stack up. Glad that Terrance Shannon Jr, made the first round. Was hoping Johnny Furphy would make the first round but that didn't happen, I don't think he falls further than Portland's pick at 34 at the very latest. Choose are my thoughts on the 1st round of the draft.
This is gonna be a bit of rambling. Things that stuck out to me were ron holland going 5 and i was like theres no way. I was like cant wait to see his reaction because this team has zero spacing and just drafts another non spacer. I cant imagine ivey, holland, duren, and ausar on the court. Salaun to the hornets nice play hopefully they can actually develop someone. Donovan clingan falling to the blazers beautiful for them but now they have 3 bigs so curious what happens. Minnesota completely suprising move up for Dillingham. I think the fits good but what they gave up could be risky. 2030 swap with top 1 protection and unprotected 2031 pick so hopefully they win a ring and dillingham works out. Before i talk about edey and memphis i thought it was funny u said “do we think edeys a starting point guard?” Gonna be one hell of fastbreak ill tell u that. On the serious side though its obvious they need a big but zach edey i think its tough to see him with fast pace pg morant. I completely agree with what u said about him not being that center for them. Nikola topic is interesting for the thunder especially since they just traded for caruso, they have wallace, and joe, and wiggins. I wonder when hes healthy hows he gonna be involved, do they make a splash with their picks and youth or do they still take this conservative route. To end my rambling i wanna talk about the heat one. As a fellow heat fan I accept ur very nice f u. Didnt hold back and let it out for us getting a good pick. I think it can be interesting if hes eventually our starting 5 and bams at the 4. Heat also just needed size and another big
As a Knicks fan, couldn’t be happier. Drafted a high potential wing and came away with 6 second round picks in exchange for 1 first. Leon Rose is putting on a GM masterclass right now!
Pistons fan here, we needed shooting but they got my guy, ron holland. obvious BPA yet again, but there may be pieces moving. otherwise, langdon probably has faith in Fred Vinson's magic.
@@_AVC_ hahaha. i'm probably an outlier amongst pistons fans, but this makes sense in the long term because the shooters available are either too old (low ceiling) or too small. i expect a lot of personnel movement anyway. also, this is absolutely langdon's MO, drafting defensive wings with questionable shooting. he believes vinson can fix the shooting of these types.
@@revmichael4 Yeah I hear ya and I’m glad you support em haha. I just think it’s an incredible disservice to make the development of the talent you already have this difficult.
As a okc fan I absolutely hate what they done we drafted a Giddey clone and drafted Dillon jones another small undersize wing I’m not shocked at all I knew this would possibly happen but it so frustrating constantly drafting guards and undersize wings,i knew we wasn’t drafting a traditional big which was always unrealistic but we couldn’t at least draft a forward with length or a backup big something we actually need instead of more guards I pray this means they will be aggressive in free agency but my expectations are very low after the draft,completely ruined my entire day
Yeah it was a really weird night for them. I can never count them out as they normally know what they are doing but wow it was not a textbook smart night.
Give me those post draft reactions!
Love the magic drafting Tristian da Silva, basically another wing Franz Wagner, with better passing and a good shooter which is what the magic needed bad
Very fair, yeah at the end of the day happy to see a shooter there haha.
Definitely not a better passer than Franz.
Better shooter is likely.
@@boltblazer1670 And they’ll happily take that shooting haha

Lol no F bombs just kinda a sigh. Obviously I’ll be a fan of him though! But yeah these guys should be nothing but celebrated right now.
14:37 As a Pelicans fan I agree. I was hoping Ware would fall to us 😭
That would have been dope, but y’all got a good one!
Even tho we have 3 banners, it has been miserable to be a Pistons fan since Mr Davidson died. My reaction was the same as yours when we drafted Ron Holland, WTF are we doing. Feels bad for the kid, because he is going to a dysfunctional situation, where he doesn't fit.
That is the worst part is there is someone’s life in this decision. He isn’t gonna get much help…

Do we need to start a free Cade movement?

Yeah he could end up being great but it just isn’t a logical pick regardless.
OKC were the biggest loser in this year's draft

@@_AVC_ first round exit for sure

You got one of the most coveted trade targets in Caruso, and you still have like $30+ mil in cap space to sign a big time player. You’ll be fine.
