Nice ones there Skip. The Silouhette auto is really nice
When is was looking for a Grant Hill auto it had to be on card and in Pistons uniform (and preferably not that awful horse's head design) so this ticked all the boxes.
Pump up the Pistons?
Go Hawks lol
Nice stuff! That Silo is sick!
And out of curiosity, since I forgot to ask; who's your 2nd round speculative pic this year?
Not a Pistons fan per se, but I do like some of their historic teams. Plus, you do know Grant Hill is part owner of the Hawks, right?
As for second round spec picks:
Deyonta Davis would be the obvious pick as he was expected to be a potential lottery pick and certain first rounder. He has a real rugged nose for the glass and picking up offensive rebounds. Behind Z-Bo and Gasol they don't have a lto other than Wright and Jarrell Martin (even Jamcyhal Green got minutes) so yeah, Davis has a real chance to not only stick on the roster but earn some decent minutes.
Diamond Stone is a real throwback low post scoring threat but an underwhelming rebounder and a bit of a defensive liability due to his er, 'rotundness'. Think of Eddy Curry and you'll know what sort of player he is. On a deep Clips roster though he faces an uphill battle.
Zhou Qi was once touted as a lottery pick too but his stock tumbled based on his slight frame, questions about his age and toughness. He does have a nice jump shot for a big guy (could be a stretch 4/5) and has elite shot blocking skills but mostly from weakside help situations. Expect him to stay in China for now. Think of a thinner Gorgui Dieng with less D and more range....
AJ Hammons is another big who can hit the glass and block shots as good as the guys taken in the first round. Scouts question his motivation, intensity and consistency but he does have all the requisite tools to deliver as a big in the NBA. The Mavs don't have much depth up front so he does have a chance to stick and be a part of the rotation....
The people's champions are no doubt Kay Felder and Tyler Ulis. The Cavs parted with a fair bit of cash to get Felder who they see as filling the backup PG slot. He's very undersized which makes him a liability on D but he's like a little bullet when the ball is in his hands. Sees the court well and no doubt a crowd favourite. Tyler Ulis killed the summer league competition and looked the goods but he is in Phoenix with the likes of Brandon Knight and Eric Bledsoe ina very guard heavy rotation....
That is some Motor City madness right there, sweet Hill!
The fall of an empire but let's hope both the city and the basketball franchise gets its act back together!
Epic stuff mate, I got a nice bad-boys PC going myself and I too am chasing a nice Isiah auto!
Gotta like the way the Bad Boys went about their basketball....they'll either beat you or they'll beat you! hah hah
Really nice cards man. Really like Isiah's auto, very neat.
It is pretty schmick, some nicer than others though!
