And they might not be done dealing as the draft approaches Thursday night. The Pistons want to acquire more assets, and their first pick, 15th overall, is rumored to be in play. Yes, they have a dire need at wing, but there's a belief they could move back in the first round and still address that void.
Or they could think more immediate and try to move up. Who knows? That's the value in having multiple first-rounders.
Here are three players they've been linked to.
Bazley is an interesting story. After committing to Syracuse as one of the nation's top recruits in 2018, he opted to enter the G-League instead. Then he reversed course again and decided to train on his own in preparation for the draft. He worked out for the Pistons earlier this month. Bazley would be a project, but his 6'9 frame, 7'0 wingspan and ability to score from multiple levels is appealing.
Michigan and Michigan State fans will be familiar with Fernando, the All-Big Ten center from Maryland. The Pistons are eyeing depth at that position, especially with the possibility of Andre Drummond opting out of his contract next year. The 6'10 Fernando, who also worked out for Detroit, is a force around the rim and plays hard at both ends of the floor. His jumpshot and range leave something to be desired.
The Pistons need shooters, and Windler fits the bill. He nailed 42.8 percent of his threes over his final two seasons at Belmont. He's a capable rebounder as well, despite his thin frame. Windler won't break anyone down off the dribble, but he could be a nice piece in a Pistons offense that's built on spacing, ball movement and lots of threes. There's long-term potential here.
