Ellenson ist ein guter Pick. Einige hatten ihn in der Lottery. Er ist von der Spielweise ein wenig Kevin Love-like, also jemand der gerne und viel von Außen wirft, aber auch ein guter Rebounder ist.
Overall Grade: A
No. 18: Henry Ellenson, PF, Marquette
The Detroit Pistons have to be thanking their lucky stars, because Henry Ellenson is a perfect fit for their roster. He should be similarly happy, because the Pistons are one of the organizations able to maximize his strengths and minimize his weaknesses.
Next to Andre Drummond, Ellenson's lack of athletic ability shouldn't be too prominent. Detroit won't ask him to muscle up in the paint or protect the rim on a regular basis, leaving the heavy lifting to his stronger frontcourt counterpart. More importantly, the Pistons want shooting from every position to space the court around Drummond.
Don't be fooled by the one-and-done power forward's 28.8 percent shooting from deep at Marquette. His ability at the free-throw stripe and shooting form both bode well for development, and he should eventually extend his range beyond the NBA's three-point arc.
No. 49: Michael Gbinije, SF, Syracuse
Can Michael Gbinije shoot? Of course he can! He was drafted by the Pistons!
Often operating as a positionless player at Syracuse, he showed off a dizzying array of skills with the Orange. He'll likely settle in as a NBA small forward, but he can handle the responsibilities of multiple positions and serve as a secondary ball-handler for Detroit.
That said, it will take him some time to adjust defensively after working in Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim's vaunted zone schemes for three long years once he transferred from Duke.
With the NBA draft having come and gone, the Detroit Pistons will turn their attention to retooling the roster over the summer, with moving guard Jodie Meeks on their to-do list.
The franchise is shopping the 28-year-old in an effort to find him a new team, league sources told The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Meeks missed all but three games last season after suffering a non-displaced fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot against the Utah Jazz on Oct. 28.
He returned to play 26 minutes in the season finale, but played just over a minute in the opening round of the playoffs against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Meeks is entering the final year of his contract where he's set to make $6.5 million.
2 Bigs halte ich für unrealistisch.
Wir haben 9 spieler unter Vertrag. Dazu sollte man Bairstow und Hillard zählen mit ihren billigen Verträgen. Sind 11. Dazu dann die beiden Picks. Sind also noch 2 Spots open.
Ich gehe davon aus, dass man Lorenzo Brown nicht verlängert. Das gleiche gilt meines Erachtens aucch für Phil Pressey. Hat einfach nicht die Qualiät die ich mir wünschen würde, für die nächsten Jahre.
1 x Backup PG und 1 x Big Men. So sehe die Free Agent signings. Wenn man natürlich einen Trade einfädeln kann, sieht es anders aus.

Kann eigentlich nur für C.J. Watson sein, hat noch ein Jahr Vertrag und eine Teamoption für 17-18 für 5 Mio. Als 3. PG ganz ok denke ich - genau wie Meeks ständig verletzt, nix dolles.
