The Detroit Free Press' Drew Sharp believes the Pistons should have drafted Devin Booker in the first round. ESPN's Chad Ford was under the impression that Johnson was an odd pick with Justise Winslow still available. Both MLive's David Mayo and the Freep's Vince Ellis were positive about Van Gundy's choice -- the divisiveness in the media mirroring the DBB community's reaction to Detroit selecting Arizona's Stanley Johnson eighth overall yesterday.
Amidst debate about Johnson's measurements, his shooting ability and overall skill, one argument seemed to slip through the cracks: the 19 year old fits Stan Van Gundy's vision for the future of Detroit's small forward situation.
