The Detroit Pistons haven’t selected outside the top 10 in the NBA draft since 2009 when they took Austin Daye with the 15th pick. That is until this year when the team selected power forward Henry Ellenson with the 18th pick in the NBA draft.
The Marquette freshmen averaged 17 points and 9.7 rebounds per game, while shooting 44 percent from the field. It’s very clear that Ellenson has NBA talent, but he is not your typical Stan Van Gundy big man. Van Gundy has proven to be a fan of stretch fours; from Ryan Anderson, to Rashard Lewis, and most recently Marcus Morris.
