    Heres your order.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>1. Portland 32-50 5.3% 2. Seattle 31-51 8.8% 3. Atlanta 30-52 11.9% 4. Memphis 22-60 25.0% 5. Boston 24-58 19.9% 6. Milwaukee 28-54 15.6% 7. Minnesota 32-50 5.3% 8. Charlotte 33-49 1.9% 9. New York1 33-49 1.9% 10. Sacramento 33-49 1.8% 11. Atlanta (via IND) 35-47 0.8% 12. Philadelphia 35-47 0.7% 13. New Orleans 39-43 0.6% 14. L.A. Clippers 40-42 0.5% Order for the rest of the first round 15. Detroit (via ORL) 16. Washington 17. New Jersey 18. Golden State 19. L.A. Lakers 20. Miami 21. Philadelphia (via DEN) 22. Charlotte (via CLE and TOR) 23. Chicago2 24. Phoenix (via BOS and CLE) 25. Utah 26. Houston 27. Detroit 28. San Antonio 29. Phoenix 30. Philly (via DEN, GSW, DAL)</div>The Pistons not only get the 15th pick but they get their original 27th pick as well. with Jason Maxiell going 27th a couple of years ago, we know how much potential late first round players have. They also get the 57th pick and I cannot see any reason why we would keep that player.here is how everyone's mock drafts go.Chad Fords top 45 prospects say that #15 would be Acie Law and #27 would be Marco Belinelli from Italy.I think that Big Baby Glen Davis is an equivalent to Jmax so we can stay away from him.---your thoughts? It is such a deep draft so I really only think that Law, Marc Gasol, or Alando Tucker would be nice fits for first round picks. Our younger guys are developing right now and if we can keep our faith with them, then we would be fine without these guys who are coming in.Cheick Samb, Amir Johnson, Will Blalock, and Alex Acker are all going to fight hard for a spot for this team. I guess our training camp teams are going to be amazing this year...

    I totally forgot we had the 15th pick from Orlando - Darko has actually benefited us in some way - believe it or not. I think if Acie Law can slide down to us, we would be really satisfying our needs for a solid guard behind Chauncey.

    Acie Law would be a really nice pickup for the pistons, id say hes a similar player to Chauncey who could teach him. I mean they both can hit big shots

    My Three Options-Al Thorton, FSU-Thaddeus Young, Georgia Tech-Morris Almond, RiceI think that Acie Law will go 11th to Atlanta, if they don't draft Conley at three 3 spot.

    but that doesn't mean that theyll just drop him....I do think that they will still pick up law or conley however and drop Speedy Claxton

    Boy, I hope more than anything that Acie drops to Detroit, but somehow I kinda doubt it. Atlanta and Philly seem like they're both in the market for a pg.

    I think we could see one of the players projected in the 5-10 range fall a bit. Boston, Charlotte, New York, Minnesota and Atlanta will blow their picks like they always do, no doubt. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if we have some 7'3 Russian point guard living in a cave somewhere in the mountains of Northern Asia that no other team has ever heard about. We do that alot too.

He's there the next 4 years and there's nobody thats going to want Claxton enough to trade for him.

    Arron Afflalo is such a great fit for Detroit. He'd fit in beautifully with their defensive mindset and he's also a dynamite outside shooter. He's tough. I think Afflalo at 15 would be a great fit, and I don't think I see Thornton/Law sliding there. If Thornton does, thats an absolute steal and a half.

    They could try to trade up to get Law but I don't think they're that desperate to get him.I like Al Thorton if he falls to 15, which he very well could. His stock might rise after the workouts though.

    Thadeuss Young isnt going to drop to 15.Acie Law would defiently be a good pickup, but the Pistons should defiently invest in a guard and try to bring him along into a starter. Pistons already have Amir and Maxiell so no need for another big to be drafted.

Isiah has made great picks over his years with NYK/ He drafted D-Lee with the 30th pick, Channing Frye at 7, Nate Dogg at 21, and Renaldo Balkman who played greta this season at number 20. IMO I think you should go after a PG. Hunter is getting old IMO and getting the best PG in the draft available would be safe if Billups leaves( which I dont think he will)

    mobruler hit it right on the nose on that second part. I hope that guy ends up being marc gasol. but if we are able to reach an unofficial agreement with chaunce before the draft and law gets picked, would it work to take taureen green?alando tucker? mike conley? marco belinelli(even though past foreign pgs havent worked[pepe sanchez]? we have a lot of options, time, and another title to be focusing on.

If we are gonna take a point there and Law is picked, it would most likely be Javaris Crittenton. And BTW, how is Marc Gasol a 5-10 pick?

I was saying if Acie is there or not, Pistons should still take a guard cause they already have bigs.
