Well this draft sucks. Hope we get a player who can help.

Does this excite anyone ? GM’s in Detroit are never bold.
A 6’2 guard. Im very underwhelmed.


The Detroit Pistons recently traded up in the 2026 NBA Draft, acquiring the No. 17 overall pick from the Memphis Grizzlies to select Stanford guard Ebuka Okorie. In exchange, Detroit sent three second-round picks to Memphis.

Seems like a good pick. Hes a scorer and can take some of the ball handling from cade.

 

[biggunsbob]

Ok good. Just he seems like the same build as Sasser. I really wanted Pistons to move way up and get a real impact player. This guy just feels like a small rotation piece.

CBS draft grade


Detroit did a ton of due diligence here on Okorie. He lacks overwhelming size, but he has terrific speed, can get a piece of the paint on demand, and his shooting continued to tick up as the season went on last year. Okorie puts constant pressure on the rim, beginning in the open floor by utilizing his speed, but continuing in the halfcourt where he's effective with his angles and footwork.
Okorie gives Detroit speed and rim pressure but is not an elite shooter, and so he doesn't really help their floor spacing quite as much as hoped around Cade Cunningham, but he does give them another creator when Cunninghm is off the floor
Undersized for the NBA with a still relatively undeveloped, 186-pound frame that needs to keep bulking up without compromising his burst. Grade: B

It looks like they traded I Stewart for three 2nd round picks, then drafted a 7'0" center with one of the picks.

After the top picks it's all a crapshoot. They weren't getting an impact playing at 17.

A little more complicated. Besides the cap relieve, trade exception, and most likely something is coming after this.

Either a trade or Duran extension

Either a trade or Duran extension

Either way, with his injury concerns and BBPaul I think we're good.

Not thrilled with giving him a big extension. His style doesn’t work in the nba anymore.

Either a trade or Duran extension

the nice thing is he is a restricted FA. Let another team set the market for him. If it's too high, do a sign and trade.
