A huge concern for the Detroit Pistons’ front workplace asks just how much they’ll take fit into account at No. 2. With Cade Cunningham’s and Jaden Ivey’s advancement being concerns, there isn’t space for guards like Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham. And with Ausar Thompson and Jalen Duren as quality beginners, including a bad shooter like Ron Holland appears bothersome.
Zaccharie Risacher comes off as both a best-prospect-available choice and a simple fit in a lineup with 2 ball-handlers. While scouts still have concerns about his on-ball ability producing and playmaking, his 43.8 percent three-point mark and shotmaking are apparent draws for a 6’8″ wing.
