Season Recap

*Prediction: The Pistons would make the playoffs, barring injury.

Jonas pretty much let me off the hook on that prediction in the first preseason game when he tore his Achilles tendon.

*Statement: Rodney Stuckey is the Pistons best player.

It's either him or Greg Monroe and right now, at the end of the 2010-2011 season, I'd have to go with Monroe though Stuckey played at an elite level the last few games of the season. If Stuckey comes back and plays consistently the way he did at the end of 2011 he will be tough to keep out of the All-Star Game.

*The Draft: The Pistons need to take the best available player regardless of position.

That being said I hope that the Pistons get another big man to pair with G-Money Monroe in the frontcourt. I really hope that they do not select a shooting guard or even a *gasp* combo guard.

Here's my list of hopeful picks barring the "automatic" top two, Irving and Williams.

1.Kanter
2.Biyombo
3.Valanciunas
4.Knight
