Pistons: Ranking Jerami Grant among Eastern Conference power forwards
Detroit Pistons: Ranking Eastern Conference power forwards #11-8
#11 PJ Washington: Charlotte Hornets
I think Washington is low-key underrated, as he put up 12.9 points and 6.5 rebounds last season to go along with 1.2 blocks and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 38.6 percent from long range.
He’s not a guy that gets a ton of press, but Washington is quietly does a lot of things for the Hornets on both ends.
#10 Evan Mobley or Kevin Love: Cleveland Cavaliers
I have no earthly idea what the Cavaliers are going to do with all of the centers and power forwards they have or whether they consider either of these guys forwards at this point in their respective careers.

Mobley has the potential to be a Chris Bosh type power forward who blocks shots and can score from all over and we know what Kevin Love is all about as he enters his 75th season in Cleveland (it seems like it at least).
This one may be too high but I love Mobley’s potential as a two-way big.
#9 Tobias Harris: Philadelphia 76ers
Former Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris is still getting it done. To me, Harris will always be known as a guy who was part of one of the Pistons’ worst decisions, which was trading for Blake Griffin.
Harris is still plugging along while Blake is chasing rings as a role player with the Nets.
Harris had one of his best seasons for the 76ers last year, scoring just under 20 per game and grabbing 6.8 rebounds to go along with 3.5 assists per game. Harris is keeping the mid-range game alive and is very good at it.
#8 John Collins: Atlanta Hawks
The fact that Collins barely cracked the top-10 shows you just how good and deep this position is in the East, as Collins is very good.
He has already established himself as one of the best young forwards in the NBA, though his numbers dipped a little last season.
He still scored 17.6 points and grabbed 7.4 rebounds while shooting nearly 40 percent from deep, enough to earn him a max extension to stay in Atlanta. He has the talent to climb up this list by the end of the season.
