The Detroit Pistons are in an interesting position. While they have plenty of options at number eight, this also represents a problem in that they have plenty of holes to fill.
Obviously small forwards Tracy McGrady and Tayshaun Prince are not likely to be returning, and if the team can get out from under shooting guard Rip Hamilton?s huge contract, they would be more than willing to do so.
However, most analysts and fans alike agree that their biggest needs are point guard and the front court.
The name that seems to be gaining steam in Detroit is Bismack Biyombo. The product of Congo is likened to Pistons great Ben Wallace, which is stoking the belief in a potential Pistons renaissance of sorts.
That being said, there are questions about the rawness of his game and whether or not he really is as young as he claims to be.
The smart money is still that Detroit will target point guard Kemba Walker with their first pick. Walker
represents what the Pistons sorely need. He is tough, quick, and a strong leader that is capable of solving their point guard woes for the next decade.
The real question is what Sacramento will do at number seven. They also need a point guard, and while rumor has it that they like Jimmer Fredette, they could stand between Detroit and their future.
