Likeliest point guard prospects to end up on Detroit Pistons
By David Topham
With the 18th pick of the 2016 NBA Draft, the Detroit Pistons should strongly consider any available point guards, but which ones are likely to be available come their turn?
The Detroit Pistons’ bench was not good this season. Perhaps the most frustrating thing about the second unit was its lack of purpose when Reggie Jackson hit the bench. Don’t get me wrong, Steve Blake provided what he could. It’s just that today’s fast-paced, uber-athletic NBA and a 36-year-old journeyman don’t mesh.
Blake, who is now an unrestricted free agent, will almost certainly not be back in Detroit next season. And given that Spencer Dinwiddie has failed to make his mark on the league thus far, it stands to reason that Pistons are going to be looking for a point guard in the 2016 NBA Draft.
We know that Kris Dunn and Jamal Murray will be gone by pick 18, but the other point guard prospects with first-round aspirations could still be in play.
How likely is it that these players will still be on the board come the Pistons’ turn?
