Before answering who they might target in the draft, it’s important to ask: what do the Pistons need the most?
Ish Smith is definitely a cult favorite in Detroit. Or at least he was before Reggie Jackson got injured. Upon being thrust into the starting role, Smith’s lack of shooting squeezed the space out of the offense. Smith is great in the backup role, as he’s able to dice up benches across the league. But if Jackson still can’t stay healthy, Smith is not the point guard you want answering the call to action.
So, first and foremost, the Pistons need to bring in some insurance for Jackson.
