Comments on: Jared Sullinger’s back issues, if true, probably push him well out Pistons’ range http://www.pistonpowered.com/2012/06/jared-sullingers-back-issues-if-true-probably-push-him-well-out-pistons-range/ Your Go-To Source For Pistons Coverage Thu, 23 May 2013 01:01:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Lorenzo http://www.pistonpowered.com/2012/06/jared-sullingers-back-issues-if-true-probably-push-him-well-out-pistons-range/comment-page-1/#comment-73250 Lorenzo Wed, 20 Jun 2012 19:56:55 +0000 http://www.pistonpowered.com/2012/06/jared-sullingers-back-issues-if-true-probably-push-him-well-out-pistons-range/#comment-73250 They diagnosed him with tight hamstrings that can lead to back problems....one of the silliest "red flags" I have seen in a long time. It requires care and a lot of stretching but this isn't a degenerative joint or something that is chronically regressive....it's a very manageable condition. I personally don't like him at 9 for the Pistons even perfectly healthy but if he drops below twenty...he will be a steal for anyone.

Not thats gotta say something.  He was the ACC defensive player of the year twice…. Not thats gotta say something.

He rebounds, blocks shots, and can defend multiple postions. I don't think the pistons need another offensive force. Keep the ball in Stuckey/Knight/Monroe's hands and they'll be good. As for him being skinny, go look at pictures of Camby and Garnett as rookies. I really don’t see what is wrong with Henson. He rebounds, blocks shots, and can defend multiple postions.

But no way we waste our two first picks on a guy which remains a question mark in terms of health...

Only reason I can think as to why he puts him with us EVERY mock draft. That or he's just trolling all of us Pistons fans who don't want Henson. On Sullinger, no way he's still on the board in the 2nd round. Because all of those contenders in the late first always need a low post scoring big. And they don't care if he may only paly 5 yrs in the league, because they are in win now mode anyways. I think the farthest he'll go is BOS at 21 or 22. ^I think John Henson has incriminating pictures of Chad Ford. Only reason I can think as to why he puts him with us EVERY mock draft.

At this point I would assume the Pistons will draft a big, either Henson or Zeller.  I would draft Zeller due to the fact he can block shots as well, is decent offensively.  With Henson he is a terrible free throw shooter, doesn't have a developed offensive game, may or may not get pushed around in the Post, so basically we would be praying he could be Ben Wallace. Play it safe, we know what were getting with Zeller.  Outside chance they draft Jeremby Lamb SG - he is my favorite player in the draft - he has star potential.  I wish they could gain another pick, draft a big and Lamb. As it stands Pistons should draft Zeller, Start PG Knight SG Stuckey SF Prince PF Monroe C Zeller Unless the Pistons make some type of trades.      Chad has us drafting John Henson.
