Fans react to Detroit Pistons No. 5 overall pick With the No. 5 overall pick, the Pistons selected G Jaden Ivey out of Purdue. The 2022 NBA Draft is underway and the Detroit Pistons just made their selection with the No. 5 overall pick.

According to reports, the Detroit Pistons have acquired Jalen Duren, who had been selected by the Hornets with the No. 13 pick.

If he can control his foul rate, he has the potential to serve as rim protector as well. If he lands in the right situation, he could find minutes as a pick-and-roll finisher immediately. He has a frame that is already built for the next level.

The Detroit Pistons have reportedly traded for Memphis star Jalen Duren -- who was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the No. 13 overall pick in the NBA ...

Duren, 18, has a 7-foot-5 wingspan and was the No. 6 prospect in the 2021 recruiting class. They’ll owe him $9 million for one year, but reports say the Pistons and Walker will likely discuss a buyout. DETROIT – The Detroit Pistons have reportedly traded for Memphis star Jalen Duren -- who was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the No. 13 overall pick in the NBA draft -- as part of a three-team trade involving the New York Knicks.

The Pistons acquired veteran Kemba Walker on Thursday from the Knicks as part of a three-team trade involving the Hornets, sources said.

Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau dropped Walker from the Knicks' playing rotation in mid-November, and Walker also battled knee soreness in January. The Knicks traded a 2023 conditional first-round pick they received from the Oklahoma City Thunder, plus four second-round picks, to the Hornets for Duren, the Memphis center who was picked No. 13 by Charlotte. New York then traded Duren and Walker to the Pistons for a 2025 conditional Milwaukee Bucks first-round pick. The Detroit Pistons acquired veteran guard Kemba Walker from the New York Knicks as part of a three-team trade involving the Charlotte Hornets that also saw the Pistons acquire the draft rights to Jalen Duren on Thursday night.

The Detroit Pistons have selected Purdue Boilermakers star Jaden Ivey with No. 5 overall pick in the first round of the NBA draft.

The key building block was selected last year, with the selection of Cade Cunningham. Do you like the pick and or the fit? Do you like the fit and the return of the prodigal son?

Detroit Pistons NBA draft pick Jaden Ivey also draws inspiration from South Bend, Indiana, where his mom is Notre Dame's head women's hoops coach.

“And you’re about to go crazy in the league. I’m a firm believer that you’re really about to take over this league, so I love you, I’m proud of you, and it’s your time to go crazy. His outfit from Armani consisted of a blue velvet suit and bowtie, red bottom shoes and an icey silver chain. Niele Ivey is the head coach at Notre Dame, where she won the national championship as a player in 2001. When she’s in her mode, you can’t mess with her. And you can’t mess with her.

Detroit Pistons get Memphis' Jalen Duren with 13th pick in three-deal with Knicks, Hornets. Pistons also take Kemba Walker and give up 2025 first.

In Wednesday's trade with Portland, the Pistons dealt Jerami Grant for a 2025 first-round pick via the Bucks — protected 1-4 — two future second-round picks and a swap of second-round picks in Thursday's draft. Walker has fallen off the past few seasons and has dealt with a knee injury. He played and started 37 games for the Knicks last season, averaging 11.6 points, 3.5 assists and three rebounds and shooting 40.3% overall and 36.7% on 5.4 3-point attempts per game. Stewart, undersized as a center in the NBA, can play power forward if he develops his 3-point shot. Find our show wherever you listen to podcasts; weekly episodes drop every Tuesday morning. The Detroit Pistons general manager agreed to a second trade in as many days, acquiring Memphis Tigers freshman center Jalen Duren with the 13th pick in the 2022 NBA draft in a three-team deal with the New York Knicks and Charlotte Hornets, the Free Press confirmed Thursday night.

Former Celtics guard Kemba Walker is once again on the move, this time being traded from the Knicks to the Pistons on the day of the 2022 NBA Draft, ...

He agreed to a buyout with the Thunder, which allowed him to have a homecoming return in New York. The Bronx native signed a two-year, $17.9 million contract with the Knicks in free agency last summer. The former Celtics guard has one year and about $9.2 million left on his contract. Now he’s onto his next stop.

Jalen Duren has been a physical specimen since he stood 6-foot-8 at the age of 13. Get to know even more about the Pistons' newest big man.

The videos show everything from his relationships with players, to community service and his high intensity workouts. Also, he's one of the youngest players in the NBA draft, still 18 until November after he re-classified in high school and moved up a year. Duren projects as a rim-protector and an interior force, with elite finishing ability. Everything we can do to make me a better basketball player and a better person. As a freshman for the Tigers, Duren averaged 12.0 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and shot 59.7% from the floor. "No matter what state we're in or what city, it's just constant work," Duren said in Episode 2.

Detroit Pistons got a jolt to their backcourt by selecting Purdue's Jaden Ivey with 5th pick in 2022 NBA draft to pair with Cade Cunningham.

He complements Cunningham as an athletic guard who can get downhill with ease, and has a chance to become a fanfavorite thanks to his athletic dunks. Ivey's father, Javin Hunter, was born and raised in Detroit, attended Detroit Country Day and was a wide receiver for the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers from 2002-06. That, along with his explosive vertical, turned him into a nightly highlight reel in college and will give the Pistons a jolt when he's on the floor. The Pistons selected Jaden Ivey with the fifth overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft. He's a gifted athlete with perhaps the best first-step in the draft, enabling him to break down defenses and get to the rim with ease. His grandfather, James Hunter, was a cornerback for the Detroit Lions from 1976-82 and passed away in Allen Park in 2010.

The Detroit Pistons have selected Italian guard Gabriele Procida with the 36th overall selection in the 2022 NBA Draft.

“A big 6-7 shooting guard who can stroke the 3pt shot, has excellent shooting form and is a solid athlete as well. Ivey arrives in the Motor City and will be teaming up with last year’s No. 1 overall selection Cade Cunningham amidst Detroit’s ongoing rebuilding effort. The Detroit Pistons now have their second overall selection in the books.

Ivey was the highest Purdue draft pick since Glenn Robinson was drafted with the No. 5 pick 1994. Ivey is the first Purdue player drafted since Carsen Edwards, ...

Italian shooting guard Gabriele Procida is on his way to the Pistons with the 36th overall selection in the 2022 NBA Draft.

“A big 6-7 shooting guard who can stroke the 3pt shot, has excellent shooting form and is a solid athlete as well. Ivey arrives in the Motor City and will be teaming up with last year’s No. 1 overall selection Cade Cunningham amidst Detroit’s ongoing rebuilding effort. The Detroit Pistons now have their second overall selection in the books.

The Detroit Pistons went for an Italian wing with the No. 36 pick (from the Portland Trail Blazers) in the 2022 NBA draft on Thursday night.

As part of the Grant trade, the Pistons also got a pick swap from the Blazers — moving from No. 46 to No. 36 — and parlayed that into Procida. The Pistons are expected to treat Procida as a draft and stash — typically a move that keeps the player overseas initially before figuring into NBA plans in future years. The Pistons started the night grabbing Purdue star Jaden Ivey at No. 5 overall. Standing 6-foot-7, the wing attended the draft combine in May in Chicago, and ran a 3.02-second three-quarter court sprint, tied for the fastest time of all attendees. The Detroit Pistons were active early and often on Thursday night in the 2022 NBA draft.

Jalen Duren has long had a fan in Troy Weaver. Now a Detroit Piston, his athleticism gives the roster a new dynamic and another potential star.

Defensively, he's already held his own against many forwards and could function along the perimeter with a rim protector behind him. The Pistons acquired Duren in a three-team deal. "Elite physical gifts and he’s the youngest player in the draft," Weaver said Thursday night during the draft. One of the biggest questions: what's the plan for Isaiah Stewart, who has mostly played center but would likely play power forward to share the court with Duren? That's to be determined, but Weaver isn't concerned. This deal retroactively made the Jerami Grant trade, sending him to Portland for the aforementioned Milwaukee 2025 first, stronger. And he's one of the youngest player in the NBA next season, as he won't turn 19 until Nov. 18.

The Detroit Pistons managed to draft incredible talent without a top three pick. They may have even brought home more talent than any other team in the NBA.

Insane value for a pick that may not be worth too much, as the Bucks are still likely to be good in three years. Incredible draft for Troy Weaver. Not only did they walk away as a clear winner of the draft, but they may have received the most value out of any team for what they gave up.

Weaver, the Pistons general manager, was active during last night's NBA Draft. He secured two lottery picks and signed a former Syracuse player to a two-way ...

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton has been linked to Detroit, and Weaver could add the formidable big man to his roster of young pieces, which also includes Rochester native Isaiah Stewart. “I don’t think we’re done yet, but we’ll see,” Weaver said in a press conference after the first round of the draft. Detroit sent Milwaukee’s 2025 pick — acquired Wednesday in a trade with the Portland Trail Blazers for former Syracuse star Jerami Grant — to the Hornets. The Pistons also selected Italy guard Gabriele Procida in the second round with the No. 36 overall draft choice, a pick acquired from the Trail Blazers.

The Detroit Pistons landed two impact players in the 2022 NBA Draft, which may change their approach in free agency this summer.

You can probably rule out Jalen Brunson and Collin Sexton (phew!) as the Pistons already got their two-guard of the future in Jaden Ivey. This draft was an A+ for Troy Weaver, especially when you consider the Pistons had to take on little money to do it. The Detroit Pistons may have won the 2022 NBA Draft last night, as they got both of their reported targets in Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren and were able to add a high-ceiling project in the second round in Gabriele Procida.

The NBA Draft may be in the books and the Pistons walked away with an absolute haul but that does not mean GM Troy Weaver is ready to rest.

Assistant GM and G-League Motor City Cruise president Rob Murphy was on the Orange staff from 2004-11. He also averaged 3.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists per contest during his senior season with the Orange. According to multiple reports, the Detroit Pistons have signed former Syracuse guard Buddy Boeheim to a two-way contract following the conclusion of the 2022 NBA Draft.

Getting Jaden Ivey to pair with Cade Cunningham and shaking up the draft with a Jalen Duren trade made the Detroit Pistons winners in the NBA draft.

Ivey will probably play off the ball more than some of his NBA comparisons, such as Ja Morant and Russell Westbrook, so honing his jump shot would be beneficial. Duren doesn't turn 19 until November, but he's already 6-11 and 250 pounds with a 7-5 wingspan. Find our show wherever you listen to podcasts; weekly episodes drop every Tuesday morning. The duo's potential certainly has Weaver and fans excited. Taking Ivey at the top and making a splash with the Duren trade solidified a second consecutive A for the Pistons. Ivey should be the exciting co-star Detroit needed next to Cunningham, and Duren has a promising future down low. If there's any rub, it's that Ivey shot just 35.8% on 3-pointers at Purdue last season.

The New York Knicks reportedly are dealing Kemba Walker and No. 13 pick Jalen Duren to the Detroit Pistons in a draft-day trade.

Oklahoma City has two more selections in the 2022 draft at Nos. 30 and 34. The organization took Gonzaga big man Chet Holmgren with the No. 2 pick. Williams, meanwhile, averaged 18.0 points and 4.4 rebounds per game with the Broncos in his junior season. He averaged 11.6 points and 3.5 assists across 37 games before being shut down for the season in February. Earlier in the draft, the Knicks selected French forward Ousmane Dieng with the No. 11 pick and quickly sent him to the Thunder. New York reportedly received multiple first-round picks from Oklahoma City’s treasure trove of assets in the deal. The New York Knicks reportedly dealt the point guard, along with No. 13 pick Jalen Duren, to the Detroit Pistons.
