Would prefer Zeller as the “safe” pick. He can block some shots, but is heavy enough to stay on the court without constant fouling. He can reliably hit a jumper in the pick and roll, provides a center presence when Monroe sits, will maintain tradability since centers always do. Zeller also gives knight someone to pass to as a weapon near the basket.

Henson, everybody says is a great compliment to greg, but when greg sits or god forbid gets injured, Henson will be exposed as unable to defend the post against heavier PF’s or Centers. He will have to foul to keep from giving up space. And his claim that he will add 15 or more lbs of muscle is a fib. My friend the professional personal trainer said he is a classic ectomorph (or what’s it endo?) jwhatever, the guy simply can’t put on much muscle mass. His metabolism will just burn up the extra calories. And during the nba season these guys always lose a little weight. Recall daye trying to defend the post and being shoved out of the way on countless occasions. Henson will be daye plus shot blocking but minus free throw shooting or range. He is a reach here. Zeller would be the better pick IMHO

I’d love to trade back and get Moultrie…or do something insane like trade up for Trob. He and Monroe would overwhelm most teams’ post defense. Extra defenders would have to pick their poison, defend the post with an extra guy and leave knight and stuckey open, or cover them and watch Monroe and Trob march to the free throw line.

Maybe we have the pieces for the trade…9 pick plus two expiring contracts and JJ (who I love).

I really hope the Detroit Pistons select one of the following players with their picks – Austin Rivers, Andrew Nicholson, Perry Jones or Jared Sullinger. I really really hope they get one of these guys….
