    "The Detroit Pistons will add another top draft pick this summer. They have two second-round selections. They hope to be active in free agency.

    It is impossible to know which players the Pistons will target in those areas, but they will add a player who hustles and who doesn't back down to any challenges defensively. A guy who does whatever is asked of him and can start at either forward position.

    It's current Piston Jonas Jerebko, who tore his Achilles tendon in the preseason opener and hasn't played since.

    It is difficult to judge just how much the team missed Jerebko. They clearly could use a player like him, a guy who isn't afraid to hit the floor for a loose ball or grind it out in an attempt to get a tough rebound.

    The Pistons rank last in the NBA in floor burns and first in the league in eye rolls. They would be further from both extremes if Jerebko were playing."
