00:00B&A
00:01Look Trajan Langdon said they didn't want to risk losing out on Ron Holland. They really liked him and so
00:06What's weird about Ron Holland is everything I heard about him was
00:11God what an elite athlete, but that whole G League Ignite thing was such a mess
00:16that
00:17You know he was forced
00:19if you're gonna make a case for him is forced to have the ball in his hands late in his shot clocks and
00:24That didn't help him and that team was so bad
00:27I think they won two games the entire G League season and
00:31so you know he was
00:34He was hurt by the G League experience had he been you know the
00:39Had he just not had to go do the G League he might have been the number one pick
00:43Had he gone to college he might have been the number one pick, but the ignite team was so bad
00:48You kind of get the sense that it hurt his stock, and maybe he's simply a victim of that
00:54If you hate the pick fine, I think everybody in the top five top ten
00:59Everybody in this draft feels like they came with a yeah, but
01:03Right there was he's a good player, but yeah, but and
01:07In Ron Holland's case it said he can't shoot Trajan Langdon says he's checked all the boxes with the exception of shooting
01:14But they brought in a shooting guru
01:17that they are hoping takes care of
01:20You know and helps their guys along
01:23In Fred Vinson, which I guess we're gonna find out pretty quick. How good Fred Vinson is I?
01:30Don't know. I mean that the hype for an assistant coach
01:33This one specific part of the game if it's legit. It'll be extraordinarily helpful
01:39Because they have guys that need to help
01:43Well they do and I mean this is the reason you get this guy right you bring him in specifically
01:48To work with the the shooters on the Pistons that need to be better
01:53Overall there, there's something to work with with the Pistons. It's not like these guys were all sub 30% shooters, right?
01:59I mean that there are a bunch of guys that are you know well above 30%
02:03It's close to the average still below average. He's close to it, but he's also gotten better
02:07I think people keep sleeping on Fontecchio, and how good he is he's like 42% and you know that people say well
02:15The Cades got nothing on the floor with he's got nobody else to shoot Fontecchio shoots watch him
02:20Fontecchio could be a guy who averages over 20 points a game with this team so
02:26Give it some time
02:27We'll see how many more guys how many of the guys will improve and if and if they do improve by percentage points
02:33It's going to reflect in the scores, and it's gonna reflect in the win totals
02:37It's not gonna make him a winning team right away. I think they still have to figure out what the right mix is on this team
02:45but
02:46You know to go out and get Ron Holland and his lack of shooting is like a jump shooting
02:52I'm not gonna cry about it in the draft that nobody is that thrilled with to begin with so they didn't get a shooter
02:58Okay, but what else did they what did they what did they get what they got was a guy?
03:03relentless defensively
03:05Got good size good length 610 wingspan on a 6 foot 7 inch frame
03:09Who likes to finish likes to play above the rim likes to run those are all good things?
03:14Does he turn the ball over too much probably is that a reflection of who he is or who he was playing with?
03:21You know because people say that that team was not a very good team
03:23He was playing on and if there's not a whole lot of talent there then
03:27Okay, feels really redundant to the Astore Thompson pick for sure, but maybe one of those guys gets moved
03:33one of the things that Trajan Langdon said last night is that he
03:37He's already getting calls. They've got cap space. It's funny because the agents of
03:42The draft prospects he said not a lot of people want to come work out for them one of the agents of the veterans
03:49Will want to take the Pistons money, or are they gonna be forced to trade because that's the concern right here right now is that?
03:57You know if that's indicative when you make the comment
04:00And he did last night that well
04:02they didn't get a lot of guys to work out because agents told their clients not to work out for Detroit and
04:07We're sitting here talking about all this cap space you can have all the cap space in the world people got to want to take
04:12it
