Auburn Hills — With so much activity and uncertainty in the hours before Thursday’s NBA Draft, the Pistons had to play wait-and-see before they made their pick.
After special adviser Ed Stefanski said this week that the Pistons were looking at possibilities for either trading up or trading down in the first round, they ended up staying put. With the pick, they selected Sekou (SEH-coo) Doumbouya (doom-boo-YAH), a 6-foot-9 wing who was born in Guinea and played professionally in France, on Thursday night.
