Detroit Pistons get Khyri Thomas in trade with 76ers, add Bruce Brown

Marlowe Alter | Detroit Free Press

The Detroit Pistons traded with the Philadelphia 76ers to grab Creighton shooting guard Khyri Thomas with the No. 38 overall pick in Thursday's 2018 NBA draft, according to Yahoo's Shams Charania.

Free Press sports writer Vince Ellis reports the Pistons are sending two future second-rounders to Philadelphia in the deal.

The Pistons then selected Miami (Fla.) guard Bruce Brown with the 42nd overall pick.

Thomas, 22, is 6 feet 4 and 199 pounds. The junior has a long wingspan and performed well athletically during the first day of the NBA draft combine. He is considered one of the best perimeter defenders in college.

The Pistons did not have a first-round pick, trading it to the Los Angeles Clippers in the Blake Griffin trade in January. The Clippers took Michigan State forward Miles Bridges with the pick 12th overall and traded him to the Charlotte Hornets.

Brown, 21, is 6-5, 195. The sophomore is a quick and bouncy prospect, who is tough to stop in the open floor. He tends to force the issue at times offensively. He missed the second half of last season after left foot surgery.
