Diabate and Houstan both drafted

Hmmmmm. I thought neither one was in the top 100?????

I have said it many times. We just do not see what the scouts see.

Both these guys will be good in a couple of years. Houstan might be a star.

The teams that drafted them got them early and have the best chance to keep them on the first free agent deal.

That is one of the things the teams look at.

Also Houstan is really young. He should be a freshman this year. So i truly believe he will be a star.

The greater likelihood is that neither one of them ever becomes a full time starter. I may be wrong but both would have to improve dramatically, not marginally. Hoiustan is going to have to speed up his shot release significantly or he will have trouble even getting shots off, let alone making them.

in related news the Pistons had themselves a hell of a draft. I'm not sure what they are going to do with their cap space, I don't know if Ayton is still on the table for them, but what a great young core they have assembled.

Agree- the future hasn't looked this rosy for the Pistons in 15 years or more.

Well shoes the kid is now 18.

I think all his attributes will improve dramatically in the next couple of years.

As far as Moussa, the kid needs to settle down slow down and relax. He always seems to be ahead of himself.

Anyway, we will find out in about 3 years.
