    Really optimistic here. Oh, and no strong opinions.

    Boozer is not a center and I do not see him as a player that likes doing dirty work.

    The Swede will be the SF that will eventually back up or replace Tay. I believe he made be the best out of all 4 picks.

    In wake of draft, Dumars must prove he can right the wrongs

    Yes, you're right of course. I guess at 6'11", I was hoping he'd bulk up and play the 4.

    He's got lots and lots of bulking up to do considering he's somewhere around 190 lbs...

    What are those people smoking? Best 2 and 3 in the league? Good team for developing talent? I guess they are just saying "all the right things" at this point, huh?

    Best team players at the 2 and 3. Slight nuance there. They may not be the best SG and SF in the league, but when it comes to a friendly game of Uno on the flight back from a road game, there's nobody better than Rip and Tay in the league.

    I also about rolled off my chair when he called Memo a "Bad Boy". I really like Memo, but he's as much Bad Boy as Walter Hermie.

    Well, Sheed declared Herrmann to be a "rock star" and I think he was being genuine. WH must have had some game off the court.

    Herrmann did help sell ladies night out tickets.

    Daye is not a PF. Anyway, I'm sure Pistons can sign someone like Bass to back up PF.

    At 6'11", putting Daye at PF is not a huge stretch. I'm sure the Pistons will sign at least 2-3 more guys. I was just pointing out what the roster looks like as of today.

    I could see that team being on the verge of making the playoffs.
