We picked Jason Maxiell with our first rounder. I don't mind this choice. He seems like another Ben Wallace and that is never a bad thing.
We have two more picks yet. Hodge, Stoudamire, Garcia, L. Williams, Head and Diener are all gone. I think that's the most of the players we discussed for our late first.
What a truly awful draft. After blowing our first round pick on a horribly undersized power forward in Jason Maxiell, we take two guys in the second round in Amir Johnson and Alex Acker when there were actually good guys still avaliable. This draft gets an F as far as I'm concerned. Even after Maxiell, we had a chance to save it with two of Winston, Walsh, or Banks at #56 and #60 and we take those guys? A draft of Ilyasova, Winston, then Banks could have been sweet, considering Winston and Banks are both first round talents, had Winston stayed at Alabama for a year and had Banks not have so many attitude problems. Going Maxiell, Johnson and Acker is awful...I've never seen a worst draft in my life.

Let me say I like this draft. Maxiell is just the player we needed, he was the only guy with first round talent that had our type of thinking. Johnson was a perfect pick, he is a huge talent that should be a heck of player. I would guess he is starting the year in the NBDL. Acker is a guy I've seen play once and he was decent. He has solid shooting, he just needs to get agressive.

I would slice off my brother's kidney if it meant 2 finals appearances and 1 championship in the past 2 years.
By the way, there was a poster who thought ilyasova should have been the pistons first rounder; he is compared to radmanovic as a player, and I think even the bucks taking him at 36 may have been a reach.

Hey Hirschmanz... Yes, Joe has let us down. Look at his draft history. He's great with trades and personel moves for the most part... but his draft history is just... eww. Tayshaun Prince may be his ONLY good draft pick so far (though I love Darko, he hasn't proven anything yet).
