The NBA never sleeps, and it never disappoints.

The day before the 2019 NBA Draft, we’ve got a lot of information, rumors, mock drafts, and reporting to process - and some of it even involves the Detroit Pistons! Let’s wade through the pre-draft information slough together.

We covered this here at DBB for you, but the main takeaways were that:

  • The front office is perfectly content to build around Reggie Jackson, Blake Griffin, and Andre Drummond
  • They need depth around that “Big 3”, and they’re willing to be patient in free agency to obtain that depth
  • They consider the talent pool in this year’s draft to be broad, but shallow

There are other names that come up in mocks - The Athletic’s most recent mock has the Pistons taking Keldon Johnson, Rod Beard at The Detroit News selected Cameron Johnson, Sports Illustrated’s Jeremy Woo took Nassir Little - but Romeo Langford has been a consistent selection across mock drafts recently.
