Pistons get two forwards, shooting guard in draft

Here’s the Pistons three picks from last night, and the Detriot Insider’s thoughts…

Jason Maxiell (PF, Cinncinnati) - Insider says: “Fits the Pistons mold? Yes. Is he going to provide scoring off the bench?”

Amir Johnson (SF, Westchester HS, California) - Insider says: “McDonald’s All-American. Probably could have used some college time (I think he was destined for Louisville).”

Alex Acker (SG, Pepperdine) - Insider says: “No idea. Is he a shooter?”

Here’s a couple of articles on the draft…
