Pistons draft: Possible defensive steal of the 2023 NBA Draft

The Detroit Pistons have the 5th pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, but they also have the 31st, a spot where they could find value.

Second-round prospects often have raw skills or glaring weaknesses, but the Pistons could be able to find some help for their porous wing defense, as the New Orleans Pelicans did two years ago when they drafted offensively-challenged Herb Jones in the second round.

Jones has already emerged as one of the best wing defenders in the NBA, and is a player who will undoubtedly make some All-Defensive teams in his career.
