THE REWIND

Lottery talent in the late teens

Not often does a team that made the playoffs get to add lottery type talent in the draft.

In 19-year-old Henry Ellenson from Marquette, Detroit added a player who was projected to be a top-10 pick but fell to the Pistons at No. 18.

With Ellenson’s 6-foot-11 frame, upside and ability to play both the PF and C position, Detroit could have a building block.

Detroit also doesn’t have to rush Ellenson’s development because of its frontcourt depth.

Something in reserve

With a starting lineup returning from a team that lost in the first round to Cleveland, Pistons management turned its attention to improving its bench in free agency.

Although Detroit had carved out a max salary slot, the Pistons relied on their pro personnel department to target depth and not just one particular player.

Detroit added quality backups in point guard Ish Smith, stretch four Jon Leuer and center Boban Marjanovic.

Detroit struggled at backup point guard last season. With Ish Smith coming off a career year in Philadelphia, he should help stabilize a Pistons bench that often struggled when starter Reggie Jackson rested.

Leuer replaces Anthony Tolliver, and he could flourish after a career year with Phoenix with All-Star center Andre Drummond garnering attention.

Although the Pistons have a backup in Aron Baynes, Marjanovic should help alleviate concerns if Baynes opts out of his contract next summer.

Marjanovic, a restricted free agent, became expendable once the Spurs used cap space to sign Pau Gasol.
