Detroit Pistons: Three players to avoid in the NBA Draft

The NBA Draft is right around the corner, and the Detroit Pistons may want to avoid a few players.

On November 18th the NBA Draft will finally, after two delays, be held. The Detroit Pistons will make their selection at seventh overall and there are well over a dozen possible names that could be called.

For the most part it’s been largely speculated that Detroit will elect to draft a point guard. It’s been several years since they’ve heavily invested in one through the draft, and they’re certainly due for it.

Additionally, this class is full of potential talent at the position.

There has been speculation that the Pistons could move up in the draft in order to select LaMelo Ball, and newly hired General Manager Troy Weaver even eluded to this possibility during media availability over the weekend.

The general consensus on this draft class is that it’s pretty underwhelming. Even those who disagree know that it’s, at the very least, weaker than what we’ve seen in recent years.

At the end of the day, fans have accepted the reality that we really have no idea who’s name will be called for Detroit. In this, we’ve taken a liking to a sizeable number of players. For the most part, there aren’t too many names that would cause frustration to boil over.

It doesn’t even have to be a point guard, but it would certainly be preferred. The best player available could very well be the selection, as Ed Stefanksi has previously eluded to.

Despite this, there are still a few players that the Pistons should try to avoid if they become available.
