Pistons mock draft: 10 possible scenarios for Detroit

#8: Detroit Pistons trade back with one of the teams that wants Donovan Clingan 

If Clingan is there at five and the Pistons aren’t interested in drafting him, then they should use his popularity to get an asset by trading back. 

There are several teams, including Memphis and Chicago, that have made it clear they are interested in Clingan and could trade up to get him. The Pistons could potentially swap picks with one of these teams and get an asset for their troubles. 

The Pistons may be able to trade back, grab an asset and still draft the player they want, which would be a great scenario for Detroit. 

The same could apply if one of Zaccharie Risacher, Alex Sarr or Reed Sheppard happen to fall out of the top four, which you can’t rule out in this draft.
