NBA Eastern Conference: Most important need for each Central Division team heading into the NBA Draft

Detroit Pistons (Picks 15, 45)

Memphis Grizzlies v Detroit Pistons

Needs: Point guard, wing

The Detroit Pistons are not in a great spot at the moment. They lack the cap space to land a top free agent and their roster is filled with bad contracts. They have 2 picks in the upcoming draft, but neither is good enough to land a player who can solve the issues plaguing the side.

Blake Griffin's resurgence is the lone bright spark for the Pistons heading into the offseason. Griffin averaged close to 25 points and 8 rebounds per game in the regular season in what was a return to his dominant self.

What the Pistons truly lack though is sharpshooters. Detroit need to be more efficient from deep, having shot just 34.8% last season, which ranked among the league's worst teams. They were also the second worst rebounding team in the league, with the likes of Andre Drummond and Griffin receiving little to no support from the rest of the roster.

With Ish Smith hitting free agency and Reggie Jackson likely to be released next year, they also look severely depleted in the guard department.

That's something they really need to address heading into the draft. Realistic targets include Nickeil Alexander Walker of Virginia Tech, Romeo Langford of Indiana, Kevin Porter Jr. of USC, and PJ Washington of Kentucky.
