Detroit Pistons Big Board 1.0: Prospects 30-29

Guard/Small Forward. Ayo Dosunmu. player. 64. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Illinois. 30

I wrote about Dosunmu as a possible second-round pick for the Pistons, but he has the skillset and attitude to rank a little higher.

Dosunmu has some big flaws, namely his wonky shot, though his percentages improved this year. But he also has a high motor, the length to defend all over the floor and he is a natural leader.

He seems like a Troy Weaver type guy and I could see the Pistons grabbing him if he were to fall to the second round.

Shooting guard. Arizona State. 29. 64. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Josh Christopher. player

Christopher had an up and down freshman year for ASU but has the prototypical size and skillset of an NBA shooting guard.

He has quick hands on defense, rebounds well for his position and has a nice shooting stroke even though it didn’t translate to results from long range. He will have to improve from that area if he wants to make an NBA roster.
