There’s generally two main schools of thought for the Detroit Pistons’ 2017 NBA Draft draft pick strategy.
The first is that Detroit should draft the talented but ultimately safe player who fits a specific need. Being that Detroit can’t hit the broadside of a barn most games, you would think they’d lean to the Luke Kennard or Justin Jackson route, as both players are quality shooters (more on Justin another day).
The second main school of thought is that Detroit should draft the highest upside player available on the board, fit or position be damned. Viable arguments can be made for players such as Frank Ntilikina, Terrance Ferguson, Zach Collins, OG Anunoby, Jarrett Allen, Harry Giles, and even Justin Patton.
