Zach Lofton has already beaten the odds – how far can he go with the Pistons?

AUBURN HILLS – Zach Lofton lends new meaning to the term “one and done.”

He’s hoping to drop anchor in the NBA, preferably with the Pistons, after breezing through five college campuses over the course of a star-crossed college career.

Lofton, 26, is a Minnesota native who began his college career at San Jacinto College, a Houston-area community college. He spent one season at Illinois State, transferred to Minnesota and was dismissed before playing a game, then on to Texas Southern for his junior season while being named conference Player of the Year and finally – last season – to New Mexico State, where he averaged 20 points a game.
