So we earned the number 8 position in the 2011 NBA Draft.

Obviously, Pistons fans are not excited about back to back trips to the lottery since the Grant Hill era.

Last year, Greg Monroe was the most consistent rookie big man in the league.

This year, the Pistons have a shot to get another impact player.

Some say we’re bound to get either Kawhi Leonard or Kemba Walker.

While either one of those players, would be fine additions to the Pistons, we need to draft on upside.

Will Kemba Walker be better than Jameer Nelson?

How about Kawhi Leonard… He looks like a baby Matrix aka Shawn Marion lite.

But the only way Leonard is effective is with playing time.

Does that mean we give up on Kevin Durant lite, aka Austin Daye.

I’m not sure I have the answers but I know at number 8, Bismack Biyombo probably has the highest ceiling.

If he’s anything like Serge Ibaka, I think he would make a fine addition to the Pistons.

But some people say he’ll be better than Ibaka.

They liken him to a young Ben Wallace.

With an old Ben Wallace still signed up to play for the Pistons, drafting Biyombo sounds great, because Ben Wa Wa can finally mentor a player than can live up to his expectations.

Biyombo has the 6′9 243 pound frame to emulate Big Ben.

For example, against other 18-year-old’s at the Nike Hoop Summit, he dominated with a 12 point, 11 rebound, and 10 block, yes 10 block performance.

I’m not pushing aside Jonas Valanciunas or Jan Vesely, but if NBA General Managers could do it all over again, I would bet money Ben Wallace would be a lottery pick.

Honestly, for the right team, (the Pistons) he would have been the number one pick.

I have a friend who’s always talking about being modeled by a potential employer.

She says sometimes it better to be a raw applicant (player), and show your prospective employer (NBA team) that you can be molded into the type of employee (player), they want you to be.

I agree with her, and if you agree with me as well, Joe D, please consider drafting Bismack Biyombo aka B-Smack… well unless Enes Kanter drops to number 8 like Greg Monroe dropped to number 7 last year.

Who do you think the Pistons should draft?

Give me your scenarios in the comment section.

Peace,

Greg Monroe tweeted it best, “smh#.”

That simple texting phrase sums up how I feel about the Pistons Protest.

No one in the world can convince me only 6 players played against Philly for no good reason.

I don’t buy sizzle, I sell it.

Blame Rip, all of the other veterans and Joe D.

We all know Coach Kuester is not the right guy for this job.

However, you must respect him because he is the Head Coach.

No excuses.

We will see how the rest of this year turns out but I’m looking forward to getting lucky in the Lottery!

My 2011 Draft Wish List:

1. Jared Sullinger
2. Kyrie Irving
3. Perry Jones

Other than that, who cares about this draft or these boycotting Pistons!

Make the Playoffs as the 7th or 8th seed…

Or Get a Top 7 draft pick?
