Pistons Should Gamble on Stanley Johnson's Upside with No. 8 Pick in NBA Draft

Currently sitting at No. 8 in the 2015 NBA draft, Stan Van Gundy and the Detroit Pistons are in prime position to substantially upgrade their roster with a talented wing or stretch 4.

There should be several intriguing options at that juncture in the lottery, including 2-guards such as Kentucky's Devin Booker, wings such as Arizona's Stanley Johnson and forwards such as Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky.

According to Andrew Perna of RealGM.com, the Pistons are zeroing in on Johnson with the expectation that Croatian prodigy Mario Hezonja will already be off the board.
