The Pistons, picking 28th in last night's NBA draft, select D.J. White from Indiana, and then deal him to Seattle for two second-round picks. I have to trust Joe D on this move, because, frankly, I am out of the loop on the NBA. What it might do, I believe, is set the table for some moves down the road. They get rid of a first-round salary guy, in White, and stockpile a couple of young players who might fit Joe D's plan for retooling the team.
The last two years, the Pistons' bench has featured old guys; maybe now it will feature bursts of energy and youth ... who knows? More important, does anyone care right now? Even the most hardcore NBA fan has got to be wondering, "Who are these guys?" Anyone who has seen the two second-round picks of the Pistons -- Walter Sharpe and Trent Plaisted -- on anything more than an ESPN highlight clip has got to be one sick person. C'mon, admit it, we don't know squat about these guys. We're just keeping our fingers crossed.
Anyone know what the Wings are doing with their 10-player logjam on defense?
