On this episode: Bryce, Omari and Shawn gather to preview the Detroit Pistons‘ offseason, two weeks before the NBA draft (June 23-24) and three weeks before NBA free agency opens (June 30). They take listener ideas on the potential Pistons moves to make, and debate whether president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon and his staff should try hard to trade up for Michigan forward Yaxel Lendeborg – the best player on the national champions. The Pistons own the No. 21 overall pick.
Lendeborg, who measured nearly 6 feet 9 without shoes at the NBA combine and 241 pounds, led the Wolverines with 15.1 points in a team-high 30.2 minutes per game and finished second with 6.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. Lendeborg, 23, was a pest on defense, averaging 1.2 blocks and 1.1 steals, and took the next step as a 3-point shooter at 37.3% (4.5 attempts per game) in 40 games.
