MSU's Denzel Valentine among six who could become Pistons – Detroit Free Press
Free Press sports writer Vince Ellis selects six prospects who look like good fits for the Pistons with the 18th pick in the NBA draft.
Notre Dame PG Demetrius Jackson
The fit: The Pistons are seeking to upgrade behind Reggie Jackson, and Notre Dame’s Jackson is one of the best in the draft.
Marquette PF Henry Ellenson
The fit: Only 19, he projects to develop into a prototypical stretch-four player in the pros.
Gonzaga PF Domantas Sabonis
The fit: A low-post threat, the son of Hall of Famer Arvydas Sabonis, Domantas can make mid-range jumpers.
Kentucky PG Tyler Ulis
The fit: Showed last season in directing the Wildcats’ attack that he can run a team. Impact of small players will help Ulis in scouting.
Vanderbilt PG Wade Baldwin
The fit: At 6-feet-3 and 195 pounds, Baldwin has excellent size for the league’s most important position.
Michigan State SG Denzel Valentine
The fit: The Pistons are stacked with wings and are in position for a developmental pick. Valentine could fit the bill.
