It will matter not one little bit to Stan Van Gundy and his inner circle, but media draft analysts had rave reviews for their night at the draft table.

Here’s a smattering of the reaction to the Pistons drafting Henry Ellenson and Michael Gbinije in Thursday night’s draft:

USA Today – Henry Ellenson. Grade: A. Ellenson had lottery potential, so the Pistons nabbing him with the 18th pick could turn out to be a steal. He’s big and he’s skilled from the outside – an ideal fit for today’s NBA. A nice addition to a frontcourt with Andre Drummond, Marcus Morris and Tobias Harris. Michael Gbinije. Grade: B. If you can look past Gbinije’s age (24) and focus on his athleticism and passing ability, he certainly has the talent to add some value on the wing for Detroit. It might not be right away, but his versatility is enough to give him a roster spot.

Chad Ford of ESPN.com on Ellenson – The Pistons got one of the steals of the draft in Ellenson. For much of the year, he was ranked in the top 10 on my Big Board. He slid late, based on concerns about his lack of athleticism, but he’s one of the most skilled big men in the draft. He can shoot threes, has an advanced mid-range jumper and is big enough to play center and rebound. His versatility should allow him to thrive and I actually really like him long term as paired with Andre Drummond. On Gbinije – Gbinije is another point forward who would’ve gone in the first round if he were three years younger. I think he can help a team right away.

Jeremy Woo of SI.com – Grade: A. After the draft got topsy-turvy, the Pistons landed a terrific value pick. Able to score on the block, put it on the deck and hit an open jumper, Ellenson was No. 6 on my Big Board and is one of the most offensively skilled bigs in the class. The Pistons need shooters around Andre Drummond and Ellenson – also a good rebounder – seems tailor-made for what Stan Van Gundy likes to do. This was a no-brainer choice.

Aaron Torres of FoxSports.com – Grade: B+. The Pistons had no real needs in this draft (their biggest priority is developing their young, exciting core), so more power to them for going out and getting two players who eventually could be contributors on their roster. Ellenson specifically could be a big get, as a versatile big man (with a nice offensive game) off the bench. Considering he was projected as a late lottery pick, Detroit could have done a lot worse at No. 18.
