Some of the top emerging stars in today’s game came out of the 2016 NBA Draft, but the Detroit Pistons didn’t select any of them.
Players like Ben Simmons, Brandon Ingram, Jaylen Brown, and Buddy Hield just to name a few were all selected inside of the top ten.
The Pistons, who made their selection at 18th overall, wound up with Henry Ellenson. A 6’10” forward who in theory, would have made a great pair with Andre Drummond in the front court.
Ellenson nearly averaged a double double at Marquette, and although his three-point percentage sat at a mere 28.
