Who had the best draft? I don't agree with Jalen Rose, I remember him saying Duke guys were bitches and SA would get get killed. Hmm didn't seem to work that way. That's what u get because u thought they didn't want it before u a black player did. Wasn't it," he was an overrated pussy"? Why did they beat u twice then? Geez,they play just like them.
Based on his twitter he's going to be #8
Spencer is winning over the media aleady. Such a likeable guy. http://www.freep.com/article/20140707/SPORTS03/307070123/detroit-pistons-spencer-dinwiddie
Starting his mayoral campaign in Detroit early. :thumbsup:
While any of them could develop into great players, if I'm looking to name a player as the best point guard prospect in the draft class, I'd pick one who can play defense, shoot, and pass. They've each got one. A couple will probably be able to do two, maybe even all three. But Dinwiddie is the only one who already offers all three.

Looks like the Mayor's gamble worked out again. Got 3 years to get fully healthy and earn that big pay day. Congrats to The Mayor.
Wonder how much of it is guaranteed. Three years basically is a deal for the pistons saying that if we stick with you for a year to get you fully healthy we have you locked up for rookie money for at least another 2 years, even if you turn out to be the stud you were prior to the injury.
On the other hand if somebody wants to pay me NBA rookie money for three years I think I might be able to get by on it.

Went to a team that had a need for him and signed a pretty good contract....what are the doubters gonna say about him leaving now? Worked out pretty well for him when all is said and done!!!
First two years are guaranteed, at a rate significantly better than league minimum. Third year is a team option, also a very nice rate; the third year as a team option will allow room for negotiation when he is playing at the level that everyone is anticipating after two years in the league. He got an excellent contract. Buff Nation should be very proud.
Where have you seen the specific figures that he agreed to?
Anyone know how the NBA deal works on restricted versus unrestricted free agents? Would Detroit still have the ability to match a contract offer after the 3rd year was up or would Spencer be unrestricted? (Or is that dependent upon Spencer's contract rather than by the collective bargaining agreement?)
