was 1-12 in his first game with the Pistons, 0-6 from beyond the arc.

I let out a private cheer when Detroit picked him right before Flip's pick. I was really concerned that he was Flip's guy, and I just couldn't see using a top 10 pick on him.

Does anyone know if Flip was going to pounce on KCP if he were available? Lip, you may have some insight into this.

Maybe I will be proven wrong on this in the long run, but I think Detroit did us a big favor if KCP was Flip's guy.

Im with you long. I wanted nothing to do with kcp in the draft. He reminds me of a smaller less athletic wes johnson who has big holes in his game(poor ball handler and finisher). He isnt even as good of a shooter he is being touted. Dont know how flip sees him but im glad we didnt end up qith him.

Have to say I'm right with you guys on this one. Back on the ESPN board I continued to express how much uncertainty I had with KCP and didn't really want him with our pick. Felt like a reach and looks even more like a reach for Detroit. I'm extremely happy we got Shabazz and Dieng instead of KCP.

Well, as far as prospects in the most recent draft go, I liked KCP. More so than McCollum or Shabazz. But it was all moot. And I'm not sure I would use his first preseason game to declare whether it was good or bad...

I wanted to draft him. I heard he has a chance to start ahead of Stuckley.

It's preseason
