Yeah I can see that the draft room is absolutely ecstatic, joyful, head over heels and extremely exuberant about the pick they made. You know like how Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes reactions were when they drafted the player they wanted. Ok maybe not.
I said weeks ago that I was only taking Cody Williams, Dalton Knect or Ron Holland. This will be a fast pace, athletic, defensive team. Jaden Ivey, Ron Holland, Ausar Thompson & Jalen Duren running with Cade. Tragon Langdon told fans in the press conference that the focus idle developing the young guys. You guys don’t see the vision yet. Multiple point of attack defensive wings that can run & also create. Easier defense for Cade & Ivey.
seems like the same vision as Weaver. drafting players that can not shoot 🤣🤣🤣.. Also give me one player in pistons history in last 15yrs they have developed into a star or role player.
My initial reaction. #1 Definitely surprised by the pick, but maybe that should give us more confidence that our new leadership is thinking for themselves rather than letting the media and "experts" think for them. #2 Says he patterns his game after Mikal Bridges and Jayden McDaniels. Yes, please! #3 Very much an Ausar clone with elite athleticism, amazing footwork on defense, and defense first identity. #4 The Ron Holland at the end of the G League season very different from first half of the season. Showed a lot of improvement. Just out of high school. It was an adjustment. Work ethic is evident. Expecting more rapid development from one of the youngest in this draft class. #5 His shot seems more natural and fluid than Ausar's. Drafting him this high tells me our new shot doctor thinks he can develop this kid's shot. #6 Best case scenario, Ausar and Holland develop into reliable 3&D guys and present a defensive pairing that is a nightmare for other teams.#7 In this draft class, this kid has as good a chance as anyone to succeed...or fail. Cheering him on to succeed.
These fans and some of the content creators kill me with this..first of all its not a secret that this team needs shooting for spacing in todays NBA but if you watch this team and no matter what i watched every game last this season i was just as disappointed and feel the defense were a very big problem as well. Can't keep their man in front of them,not protecting the paint! Not fighting through screens! Man i didn't see any shooters at #5 that would of made a big difference like i saw the potential of having a upgrade on the defensive side. We still have free agency and trades to address that area so it not said or done yet but Ron Holland has the best upside at where they were drafting so im good. Not looking for a fit that no one else drafted until pick17 over pure talent.
didnt like the pick so watched tape on him now im gonna make a bold statement he really reminds me of a young KOBE ,attacks the rim, stays in the air, defensive steals n separates ,blks ,guards perimeter.....now before you make a comment i know Kobe was GOATs..but look at young kobe tapes..if Holland becomes 50% of kobe .il take it lol
I know I just commented but looking at the faces in that draft room and if this low% from 3 pick Doesn't Pan out, I can't help but think of the last stanzas of the poem *_Casey At The Bat_* with some word changes in semicolon: Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright, The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light; And somewhere 'fans are cheering, for their teams with a shout,' But there is no joy in 'Hitsville-mighty Trajan' has struck out. Just a little humor folks. Gotta' laugh to keep from cryin'. I hope it does work out for the fans and this young fella. I truly do.
Yeah look at what the knicks are doing. You want to have defensive wings now days. Honestly I’m thinking they will let Holland and Thompson develop over the next couple years, and who ever can learn to shoot with Fred Vincent will be very valuable… whoever can’t will have trouble staying in the nba these days; but I’m sure one of the 2 will work out amazingly well. He’s not even 19 for a couple more weeks! The upside is huge!
Better than listen too u clowns saying he’s running the team if we took mantas worse fanbase in sports all the sol fans moved there crying 2 the pistons be honest y’all would cried if we got sarr can’t shoot we’re the fit
I like the pick, just curious if we trade ivey or keep him and play small ball with ausar at the 4 . Maybe holland just comes off the bench. Either way this kids a hooper
He wasn't even on my radar 😅 This lets us know that Trajan is likely going to focus on the development of the youth. Hopefully Trajan can get some contributing vets in free agency to help these dudes.
Well we have two wings who can't shoot. Let's see if they will use cutters and these guys in the post. Ausar should start as our 3 and Fontecchio should be our 4 he can shoot. Also we have him with sasser off bench which will be crazy. The defense is going to be scary even if they start both of them..Or keep them on the floor enough. It's about using them to their strengths. Running out in transition and attacking relentlessly in the paint.
@scottwickett1273 hmmmm....right so basically we trading one or two of those players then? I pray Ausar is okay, I like him, he's the better shooter between him and his brother and improving. I know Holland is more a 3 but his shooting get better Holland at the 2 and Thompson at 3.....oooooohhh..ok..ok
I watched this pick, THEN watched Hornets right after draft a tall wing that CAN shoot lmao smh. Holland seems like he’ll be the most aggressive player on floor for us tho 🐶 so we shall see
this franchise is never gonna change man, forever obsessed with players who can't shoot the basketball. Poor Cade Cunningham gonna have to endure another season of a completely clogged paint.
It's the land of misfit toys...we gather bigs and guys who can't shoot. OMG..Probably could have gotten him at 9 if anything. I guess the shooting coach is really good....for this squad he better be a sorcerer
Yep, this team is garbage. We need shooters that can play defense. Instead we get more of the same. It doesn't matter if you can take it to the rim when the defense can just clog it up because you have no perimeter game.
AWFUL PICK. just watched tape on this guy, he may not even make the fn team. 24% from 3. 30% jump shot. Only shot 40% fg because he drives only. Missing layups. I cant believe this shit!!!!
Man Detroit just doesn’t have any one in the teams front office that knows what the team needs to move forward,just goes to show you gores still calls all the shots for this team.
We going for the Record in turnovers, boys! Jaden “Cocaine is a Hell of a Drug” Ivey and him are going to be running so damn fast and throwing the ball away, we going to make history!
It’s irrelevant if there are additional moves to be made to improve this roster to win more games. If not people will lose their jobs before year 3 because they failed to put a winning product out again. Everyone preaches patience before patience runs out as an embarrassing season.
I'm sorry, but what I see is Stanley Johnson the 2nd in our pick. Cade needs spacing and Holland does not provide that. The Pistons are too worried about filling the seats around the conference table, and not concerned enough with the team on the floor. I hope future moves will be with the TEAM in mind.
Be positive fellas..
Ron Holland is a baller , he's a 2-way player that can play defense and very athletic, good pick I think..
Yep! Great pick.
Just what we need…another guy that can’t shoot
60 freakin million to go and worry about fit
a 14 win team must draft the best player available

Cooper Flagg 2025
no only draft 5 to det
Fail for Flagg
No way the league let's us capture the Flagg. Houston or San Antonio after making the play in will get the first pick.
Didn't Holland cook Flagg? I'm repeating what I heard.
@@theleelife313They gave us Cade
If our athletes can become shooters, I like our future. If not… we will be drafting in the lottery for years… Unless we also trade all our picks away.
thats a pretty ginormous "if" man, not looking good

I'm very excited about this pick, yes.
When have the pistons ever developed young talent or anyone's shot?
Still scratching my head. Not sure what Trajan Langdon was thinking when their workout with Ron Holland was cancelled. I might be wrong.
This is a great pick!
@@scottwickett1273 I hope so and that Fred Vinson the new assistant coach can help him and Ausar Thompson improve on their shooting.
I pray for Tom Gores this regime works out. He’s trying to bring Detroit a winner 🏆 at all cost. Let’s go Detroit 🙌

small difference being the knicks wings can actually shoot the three, all Detroit is doing is clogging the paint even more for Cade
@@fkm512 Good thing neither one is old enough to buy a beer!
Be better tomorrow.

Cool wit me 👍🏾
an athletic wing who can’t shoot. Is Troy still in the draft room? Also, get Arn Tellem TF out of the room, pls.

Another pick that will result in nothing! The Pistons just absolutely cannot draft, I’m so done with this team bro.

Or that he’s trading Ausar
@@onetimeonly111 It was a great pick.
@@michaelahurt No, not necessarily.

I thought they would go off-script. He has a scorer’s mentality. Where does he fit into that wing rotation along with Ausar and Fontecchio 🤷🏾♂️

Does this mean that Detroit isn't going after Tobias this summer? Or do they get him and let Holland develop more slowly off the bench? 🤔
Holland is literally the same player as Ausar and Ivey athletic, fast, but can't shoot! Why we keep drafting players that can't shoot?
Langdon didn't draft those other guys.
@scottwickett1273 hmmmm....right so basically we trading one or two of those players then? I pray Ausar is okay, I like him, he's the better shooter between him and his brother and improving.

I would not trade Holland for Salaun.
Matas Buzelis
The pick doesn't have to make sense now. It will when the season starts
damn this is Deju Vu, someone posted the same thing last year, then we lost 28 straight games that upcoming season. 🤷🏾♂🤦🏾♂
this franchise is never gonna change man, forever obsessed with players who can't shoot the basketball. Poor Cade Cunningham gonna have to endure another season of a completely clogged paint.
They do have some cap space, y'know.
Guy can't shoot, we already have Asaur. WTF
That’s what I’m saying wtd we needed spacing this is bs
Trade ausar
Herb Jones cant shoot early…
Garbage logic here
We need to slow the team down, not speed it up. Spacing and tiring out the teams defenders with time of possession.
Who tf is Ron holland?? Smh there's no fit
So u don’t no butt u do no
He's Stanley Johnson
@@The313dash No he isn't, that's just really fucking stupid.
Oh he was only the highest rated prospect in the draft.
