CHICAGO - The Detroit Pistons were the only team at the NBA Draft Combine lacking both a president of basketball operations and a head coach, but it didn't prevent them from utilizing the latest technology to evaluate prospects.
Players donned virtual reality headsets that put them on the Pistons practice court in three-on-three situations, requiring them to make the right reads and decisions, for which they were quizzed and graded.
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, a 6-8 shooting guard from Kansas, and Jevon Carter, a 6-1 point guard from West Virginia, said they answered all 12 questions correctly.
"It was pretty good just getting the opportunity to go through the video and see what's going on on the court, basketball situations," Mykhailiuk said.
