Rico has many peoples dream job and is this bad. Sure he has his moments but they are so rare and regardless of if I agree with him or not…he constantly messes up the flow of conversations.
The constant laughing when Mike is trying to be serious.. the constant interrupting, which kills the flow... The lack of focus, which like today led to them suddenly talking about gum.... I just can't anymore with him
@@jaredgarrison333 You’re not finding your scorer is this draft. Ideally you take your $62 million and find a nice 3 point shooter. I’m not drafting a guy with a high floor if I’m not starting him, might as well take the high upside guy
Kid is a pure slasher. He can draw fouls like crazy and finish. He’s got great motor, and he’s a hawk on defense. The only thing he doesn’t have is a jumper, for now. If he gets a jumper, he’s going to be elite
Foster? Are you serious, hey guys it’s memorial weekend, what would you prefer? 4 days up north or 4 tiger games? Hey guys, for those of you who can’t do a guy trip this year, or you and the wife are saving money, call in with hidden vacation gems in the state of Michigan? You really miss those Jay towers, the breakfast club, am drive time radio loser lame topics from foster? Hey guys here are the cheapest ways to fly out to Pasadena for MSU in the rose bowl. Especially if you’re saving money for that family Disney trip this June. You can drive to Chicago midway airport. Catch a 6am Southwest flight with a 4 hour layover in Dallas, do a 4 hour layover, and then fly from Dallas to La . And on the way back fly La to Vegas, Vegas to Denver, and Denver to Chicago on frontier. These were actual topics of discussion. Lame
@jaredgarrison333 I hear ya. When Valenti was not there, Terry would virtually steer away from any sports talk. Would go to topics that would just lose me. That being said, though, he does talk on Woodward Sports. When he stays on sports, he's great!
He scored 20 ppg last year in the G-league. Why do people keep saying he can't score. The incorrect narratives have gotten out of control in all sports. No one will look at facts or watch videos anymore! What is wrong with people. He is a combo of LeBron and Jaylen Brown. Alpha male, straight bucket getter. Prolific bucket getter with tremendous instincts, defense and strength. This is the best player in this draft.
I think the argument is that he can’t shoot, not that he can’t score. He shot 24% from deep in the G league. With that said who are we to say that an 18-19 year old kid isn’t allowed to develop and improve at something. He’s got a high ceiling and that’s what the pistons need, we’re not good enough to be drafting players with high floors.😂
"Can't score" . . . The guy avg 20 pts a games as an 18yr old in the g league. BTW thats higher than any other g league prospect drafted ever. Why does this guy have a mic?
Can’t score??? The kid averaged 20 PPG in the G-League at age 18. Also, I’m sure if a good enough deal was offered to trade back we would have. WTF is Rico even taking about here?
Trajan did the same thing that Brad did with Gibbs. We need to trust Trajan like we do Brad. Give him a chance to do his thing, then critique. I get sick of these instant reactions. People forget that Ron was the consensus #1 pick before he opted to go to the G-League Ignite instead of going to college and the Ignite sucked. Ron average 20ppg despite only shooting 24% from three. He already has all the other tools. Can switch 1-4. Gets in the passing lanes. Averaged about two steals per game. Offers rim protection. You’ll see some blocks littered throughout his highlights. He’s a hustle rebounder. Similar to Ausar,he gives max effort on the glass. He is very athletic, and he’s a great teammate and facilitator for his size. Trajan took what he deemed was BPA, and we need to give him a shot to do things his way. I love this pick the more I think about it. Absolute worst case scenario, Ron is a hustle rebounding defensive oriented wing that puts pressure on the rim and can facilitate.
He's basically a bigger, stronger version of Bruce Brown, someone I liked when he was here. As for his shooting, this is why you hired Fred Vinson. From Lonzo to Brandon Ingram to Herb Jones, he's been a shot doctor for them and can likely do the same for Holland and Ausar.
Mike is exactly right about the Gibbs comparison. And had they traded a few spots down, what would they really have gotten. Rico is being ridiculously shortsighted. This is essentially a pick that would have happened when HS kids could be drafted. Sometimes it worked out well, many times, the kid couldn’t make the team. Langdon is taking over a turd sandwich. Do I really care if they win 10 more games next year because they went with a safe, middle of the road guy? Need a total overhaul. High risk with potential high ceiling is how you accelerate the new new new rebuild. I’m very intrigued. He was the top prospect. If he went to UConn or another successful program, I’d bet his stock would be much higher than being in the G league.
I find a hole in Rico's reasoning that "fielding calls" means they were favorable offers. People could have been seeing if they could obtain something for nothing. I support Mike's take on this topic.
I like the pick, one of those bigs available was never going to fit with Duren. We have to rebuild the rebuild anyway so why not take the super athletic project wing. Low floor super high ceiling. Besides lets not act like most of us knew who half these players were anyway until last night, lol. If Holland and Thompson even become league average 3pt shooters around Cade then Pistons might have something.
I never wavered on the Pistons,they are young,I saw the potential in all of them.Now with Vinson on staff I'm even that much more excited about them.THEY ARE YOUNG AND GIFTED.Monty was not a developer,really didn't like his hire.He delayed them, instead of building up he confused them,self doubt.Now with Bickerstaff and Vinson they're going to improve each and every one of them.Can you imagine Duren and Stewart with Jumpers?Lets see how fast they learn,and don't be surprised.Keep the Faith.All is not broken,just Tweaking.
After all these years in all sports we have to keep doing the trade down to still get them conversations. I mean Mike brought up Gibbs and that was just last year.
Outside of obvious org/Monty flaws. Why ( on the court) did the pistons lose... was it 3 point shooting, defense, scoring, defense, defense, defense? If holland comes to play like ausar.. you can live without the heavy 3 ball. Just changed the system and make it fit. It's the PISTONS WAY!
Dalton K. would have had a good chance to start, if at worst come of the bench for first year,Dalton should have been the pick,we did not need a develop player
“Added to the roster of the motor city cruise” is just pessimistic. If you look at the film, the guy can ball. There’s no way you can watch him play and the final assessment is he’s a G Leaguer. Some people just don’t need to be on air.
Good will?! Bad take Rico. He has talent. A lot actually. Just have to train the young pups up. We needed talent. Dude could be J Brown or K Leonard in time. People are too impatient. We been bad since like 2010. Let Langdon cook. ❤️🩹
Rico is just pretty much getting a guy from the Chrysler plant that watches Sunday night sportscenter and putting him on radio. He’s just a barber shop hangout guy. ZERO insight
When you get to pick from a good crop, you look at everything and get a feel for the best cob in the bunch. When you're picking from the garbage heap, you have to have a vision of what it could be, and think you can make your imagination into a realization. This draft had no sure things even at one, let alone five. The Holland pick shows you're taking a shot at finding greatness, or you just found another clunker, along with quite possibly every other team because this draft is hot garbage.
Another 'WING' that can play defense, Protect the RIM, rebound, facilitate, and oh, by the way, would have been a #1 Pick if he didn't opt to play in the G league. tandem him/w Thompson, You have 2 of the Best, young Defensive wings in the NBA, with SIZE. Film don't LIE. nuff" said, son.
So basically Valenti is on board with Ron Holland II and Bobi Klintman to fix the shit show Pistons. Dude you need to stop giving Trajan Langdon props until this clown can produce a winner. Right now based on the draft it's obvious that Tom Gores is still a moron and Trajan Langdon is clueless. This draft haul was a joke! Bring back Killian Hayes. Let's let Stan Van Gundy and Ed Stefanski to run the draft. Langdon is in way over his head. He's already making Troy Weaver look good.
Smh people forget jordan couldn't shoot when he first came to the nba he was scorer and couldn't dribble he turned into all those things as he progressed remember he wasn't a 3pt shooter to be a shooting guard hell LeBron not really a good shooter hes a slasher people dont really know basketball
Todays basketball is weak anyway not worth watching, they took the physicality of it they took the game away from the power forwards and centers its all 3pts and no defense ever since golden st one its first championship cuz steph curry shooting 3's the league went towards that thats why the league is terrible now
So there are 10 other nba teams like Utah Phoenix Minnesota the nets clippers to name a few pistons 3 championships so those teams are worst than garbage right
This made my brain hurt listening to Rico lmao
OMG it hurts to try to comprehend what he says

Rico is beyond awful
I like the pick. He somehow averaged 20 ppg while shooting 24% from three on a horrible G league team. Excited to watch him in the Summer League soon

@JudeusSamson that's why we hired Vinson as a shooting coach. Also he is only 18 years old

Literally facts I LOVE THE RISK
Just keep stacking athletic wings im good with it

Bring Back Terry Foster 😮is that Rico or Cecil Fielder?? Bruv!😅😅😅
He averaged 20 ppg on a terrible G League Ignite team. He can score.
Ausar wont be able to shoot consistently until his next contract lol
I’m with Rico on this one. What is Holland great at?
Only thing the pistons are assured of is being at the bottom of the standings.
There is zero % chance Holland is not on Pistons roster next year. Rico is mentally challenged.
Young and athletic, b.UT needs a lot of development to be a real NBA rotation player.
Rico is terrible
Terrible
Who listens to him?
You sound ridiculous
He’s, a sidekick like Batman and Robin , Ralph and Norton , Martin and Lewis 🤡
@@ericrussell9746He’s not that bad

so we're not concerned that Cade is gonna have an even more clogged paint than last year? this team is making this dudes life a living hell
Only team with a better draft was the Wizards. 3 first round picks and more picks for the war chest for Deni Avdija.

Rico wrong. Holland is a pure scorer.
This only makes sense if they trade Cade in the next year or magically teach someone to shoot.
Huh?? It would make even less sense if they traded Cade
You have someone willing to trade with you. Plus need to suck until 2027. So Knicks don't get draft choice
They didn't see what the Spurs got? Wasn't no good offers.
