The Detroit Pistons have plenty of options to consider with the #8 pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, but this next group of guys should undoubtedly be on the top of their wishlist when the festivities kick off on June 25th. Here's 3 Players The Detroit Pistons Should Target In The 2015 NBA Draft.
SF Justise Winslow - Duke Blue Devils
Here's the best-case scenario. If small forward-needy teams like the New York Knicks, Orlando Magic and Denver Nuggets pass on Winslow in favor of other prospects, the 6'6" standout should be snatched up by Detroit in no time flat. He's a budding two-way gem with a lefty shot and a dangerous array of slashing moves to the bucket -- a perfect puzzle piece for what Stan Van Gundy is attempting to build in the Motor City.
SG/SF Mario Hezonja - Barcelona (ACB League)
Hezonja is a different type of wing than Winslow, but there's still plenty to like about the 20-year-old Croation standout. He shot 38% from deep in ACB league play, making him an intriguing option for a Pistons team that was putrid from the perimeter for stretches of 2014-15. He also has a burgeoning above-the-rim game that could breathe life into a Detroit offense that sometimes goes stagnant.
SF Stanley Johnson - Arizona
Johnson is a extremely versatile wing who does equal damage on both sides of the court. His 83 1/2 inch wingspan allows him to disrupt opposing scoring threats from a litany of angles, and his speed/power combination allows him to create space on spot up triples and floaters down the lane. That kind of all-around talent is something the Pistons would do well to consider as we get closer to draft day.
