Why The Detroit Pistons Do The Deal
To begin with, let’s assume the Pistons don’t get the first or second pick. Let’s assume that they land third or fourth.
There’s no reason for this organization to take a swing on Amen Thompson. He’s an exciting prospect, but his inability to shoot makes him a project. Since he’s a point guard, the Pistons should pass.
On the other hand, Brandon Miller is exactly the type of wing that the Pistons need. Should they just select him if they’re in a position to do so?
Perhaps. With that said, if Miller ends up as good as Bridges, he’ll be lucky. One could argue that the Pistons should opt for a sure thing.

If they’re looking to take a step forward next season, flipping this pick for Bridges would be a sensible decision.
Should the Nets want that pick?
