Pistons select Stanley Johnson with No. 8 pick in NBA Draft

The Detroit Pistons will select Arizona’s Stanley Johnson with the No. 8 pick in the NBA Draft, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

My draft board for the Detroit Pistons has consistently read like this for the entire offseason:

  1. Justise Winslow
  2. Disappointment

Now, it was easier to cope with after the lottery, when the thought of Winslow slipping to eighth seemed unheard of. But a few teases here and there that suggest Winslow might be around when the Pistons pick is enough to lead to instant depression if they don’t come out of this draft with theperimeter-smothering wing that could transform their defense.
