Let me clear something up about the draft: I was told by members of the Pistons’ front office earlier this season that they would be getting Minnesota’s second-round pick in 2008, but now they have confirmed that, in fact, Minnesota has the right to defer passing on that pick – acquired when the Pistons sent Ronald Dupree to Minnesota after the 2005 season – until 2009. It’s likely Minnesota will hang on to the pick this summer, since it will almost certainly be picking first in the second round. That will give the Pistons three second-rounders in 2009 – Minnesota’s, their own and Toronto’s, the latter picked up in the Carlos Delfino trade that also sends a 2011 second-rounder to the Pistons.
