If there is one thing that Detroit Pistons GM Troy Weaver loves more than centers, it is former lottery picks that haven’t quite found their footing in the NBA. In three years, Weaver has brought in the likes of Jahlil Okafor (former No. 3 overall pick), Josh Jackson (No. 4), Marvin Bagley III (No. 2), and even Dennis Smith Jr. (No. 9) and Trey Lyles (No. 12). Of course, the biggest potential successful story of that group was when Weaver packaged Jackson and Lyles to acquire Bagley, who then played well enough and showed enough upside that he received a three-year, $37 million dollar contract that points to him being an important piece of the rotation over the next couple of years.
