Who wil the Pistons Draft?: Position
Previous:
Joe Dumars announced the Pistons will probably take a frontcourt player, according to A. Sherrod Blakely of Mlive.
"We were still looking, more or less, for the frontcourt, 3 (small forward), 4 (power forward) or 5 (center)," Joe Dumars told the media on Wednesday afternoon. "That’s what we were focusing on anyway. So this hasn’t changed our outlook."
So, Jeff Teague, Gerald Henderson and Terrence Williams are off the board.

The pistons need to draft a proven player who can step up and is comfortable with being a star. One year of production says nothing to me. pick someone who has proven themselves every year. DeMar Derozan, Ty Lawson, Gerald Henderson, Tyler Hansbrough,Wayne Ellington, etc. these guys played on big-time stages and competed against the best night in and night out. It would be a mistake to draft someone who’s toughest competition was nobody.
