The Pistons entered the draft with 2018 NBA Draft with one pick, and came out of it with two guards, Khyri Thomas (38th overall) who was acquired in a trade with the 76ers, and Bruce Brown Jr. (42nd overall). Many media members were impressed with Detroit’s ability to nab two possible first-round talents with their second round picks.
Pretty slick work there by the Pistons, getting a couple of solid guard prospects midway through the second round in Khryi Thomas (trade with Philly for two future seconds) and Bruce Brown (taken 42nd overall by Detroit).
