Draft Express Scouting Report: Projecting Knight to the next level, the diversity of his scoring and shot-creating ability allows him to be more effective off the ball than many combo guards, which could be a key in his minutes early in his career, as it's unlikely a coach is going to hand the reigns of an offensive over to him at this time until he garners more experience and improves his decision making.
I expect Knight to come in and make a difference immediately, that means starting at point guard from day one. This kid will be a Star for the 'Stones.
With the #33 pick in the NBA draft the Detroit Pistons selected Duke Senior SF Kyle Singler!

| Kyle Singler. |
Draft Express Scouting Report: The fact that Singler has been a role-player essentially throughout his college career, doing so on a competitive and winning team throughout, will play in his favor, though. He is not the type of player who will need to make a huge transition in his style of play to make an impact. Furthermore, he's ready to contribute immediately, as he's a mature player both physically and mentally, who has been coached by one of the most respected men in basketball over the past four years. These things, along with his strong intangibles, could all look very attractive to a good team drafting in the second half of the first round looking for a solid piece to add to their rotation.
Singler is another swing man for the Pistons, but I think he will fill that void that Tayshaun will leave when free agency hits. He can hit the three, he will compete, and he will be that Detroit type of a player that the Pistons need. Bench / Role player for the 'Stones.
With the 52nd pick in the NBA draft the Detroit Pistons selected Florida Senior PF Vernon Macklin!

| Vernon Macklin |
Draft Express Scouting Report: Looking forward, Macklin did himself a great service by having his best offensive performance in the final game of his career when the most NBA scouts were watching, but his advanced age of 24 combined with his modest production and skill set could put him at a disadvantage in this draft. That said, his learning curve and physical tools could lead someone to take a chance on him, and big bodies with a pulse will always get multiple opportunities to catch on in the NBA in the long term.
Macklin has the ability to be a very good role player for the Pistons, he has the ability to score inside and has the size (6'10'', 240lbs) to be a force on the defensive end. Look for him to really contribute in his rookie season next to Greg Monroe. Solid, key bench big man.
