It was my distinct pleasure to take part in the first ever Locked On NBA mock draft as the GM of the Detroit Pistons. Per my duties as host of the Locked On Pistons podcast, I was responsible for the 12th pick and any trades that might be made for that pick.
I assessed shooting as the Pistons’ single biggest need and both shooting guard and power forward as the biggest positional needs. For the purposes of prospective trades, I also deemed nobody untouchable and I was willing to make deals that either improved talent or provided cap relief.
