Chad Ford: ‘Pistons are screwed’
By Dan Feldman
"Yeah, the Pistons are screwed. They need a big, athletic center to pair with Greg Monroe, and those guys are so rare, they’re never going to get them where they’re drafting and don’t have the goods to find one in free agency. So they can either (a) take the elite shot blocker who is too skinny to play in the paint, or (b) the big, physical guy with maturity issues who doesn’t scream "NBA starter." I’d take Henson, too. But it’s by default right now. All the teams trying to trade up don’t have athletic bigs to offer, either."
I think Ford’s rhetoric might be a little extreme – and that could have something to do with upstaging Bill Simmons in what I found to be ridiculously fun draft conversation – but there’s certainly a lot of truth in what Ford says.
