Yesterday, I covered the Memphis Grizzlies’ draft needs and also projected who they would select with their second pick of the first round.? Today, I cover the Detroit Pistons’ draft needs and will also?predict who they will select with their first round pick.
Detroit Pistons
Draft Position – #29
Needs – Small forward, center.? The Pistons, for all intents and purposes, are in rebuild mode.? That means that – according to team president Joe Dumars – players will be shopped.? The names most prominently mentioned are Chauncey Billups, Tayshaun Prince, Rasheed Wallace and Richard Hamilton.? On that premise alone, a couple positions on the team will need to be filled.
Detroit Pistons select: Marreese Speights, PF/C, Florida
Tomorrow: Boston Celtics
