Summers was projected to be taken late in the first round, but several teams decided to save money by taking players that could stay overseas for at least a year. That let Detroit grab the Georgetown forward with the 35th overall pick.
"I was surprised that I didn't go in the first round, but when I had come to Detroit for a workout, I knew this is where I wanted to play," Summers said. "So in some ways, I'm looking at this is a blessing in disguise."

I thought this was pretty interesting. We already benefitted a bit from the economic situation. So, we should really look at this guy as our 2nd first round pick.
