Detroit Pistons Draft: ASU’s Josh Christopher is a 2nd round slasher

Arizona State University’s Josh Christopher could help replace a veteran at the wing or guard position.

During the 2020-21 NBA season, the Detroit Pistons traded for two athletic guards in Dennis Smith Jr. as well as Hamidou Diallo. Once arriving in the Motor City, Smith was nagged by injuries while Diallo has shown flashes of great basketball, but was also a very streaky player.

The Pistons need a player like those two, who can score from the outside or slash their way to the basket to throw down.
