They'll get the hardest worker I've ever seen.
Dee troit got a steal in the Garzilla
The Pistons I think are trying to trade off one of the Plumlees. They'll have two centers on their roster after that. Isaiah Stewart and Jahlil Okafor. Stewart had a good rookie year. I think Garza can beat out Okafor for that backup spot. We'll see.
Detroit was really bad this season. I can see Luka making the roster
In the late second round you are taking chances on guys, if you miss, oh well. Luka is one of those guys, and I think most of us believe he is gonna be one of those guys that hits.
With Hock that will make three Hawkeyes playing professionally in Detroit

creating that final NBA roster is one big jiz saw puzzle
I just hope as the Pistons move all these players in, they don't move Tyler Cook out
Good luck big fella!! Keep proving the doubters wrong and have a great career and life!!
Stewart played well, especially down the stretch, but at 6'8" I'm not sure he's the man. I honestly don't know shit about the NBA these days but it seems that a guy that size can be taken advantage of in certain situations.
Looks like I'll be buying the NBA pass or whatever it's called.
Damn! When I did watch the NBA, Detroit was THE team to hate. Now I have to root for them?
This. Luka could be BL 2, but craftier and with sharper elbows 😉
BL was a pretty clutch shooter. He was also a 4x NBA All Star. He was more than a physical player.
Clearly Mahorn as an enforcer. Rodman despite all the weirdness, was one of the best one-on-one defenders of multiple positions in the NBA...not exactly Luka's tag line. Luka is known for offensive production and work ethic, although the former wasn't exactly Mahorn's tag line.
With the NBA, you have to look at the team's contract structure. I believe they had multiple first round pics last year that are on guaranteed contracts, and they had four draft picks last night. They selected a second center a few pics after Luka, so hard seeing them keep both. I believe the first round picks have a guarantee contract, so will have to battle for 2nd rounders to make the roster. Cook has some money guaranteed, but it isn't his entire contract, so they could decide to eat that. Will be an interesting training camp.Detroit Pistons trade Mason Plumlee and swap 2nd-round picks to open cap space

He was dirty punk as a player.
Can’t wait to see Luka and the Pistons come to San Antonio and play JW and the Spurs. Too bad it will only be one game.
