It seems as though the Detroit Pistons are always either underrated or overrated. Over the past year, fans and media have proclaimed the team as everything from up-and-coming to dead in water.
Fortunately, the team is coming off one of its best seasons in recent memory. Stan Van Gundy has built a talented, youthful roster, its oldest starter being 26-year-old Reggie Jackson.
In the interest of preserving that youth, it may make sense for the Pistons to trade their 18th pick in this year’s NBA draft, scheduled for June 23.
