If there’s one thing Stan Van Gundy covets, it’s shooting. That’s something that Darrun Hilliard can do shooting nearly 40 percent each of his last two seasons at Villanova. Hilliard also has good size at 6’6″ 206 pounds for the two guard position.
I thought the Pistons might take J.P. Tokoto or Terran Petteway–who they worked out twice— if they decided to take a wing in the second round. But this pick isn’t a total shock since they did work out Hilliard individually.
Hilliard isn’t the greatest athlete, but he’s a good all around scorer.
