On this week’s edition of the Palace of Pistons Podcast, Aaron Johnson and Jasper Apollonia react to the first-round selections made by the Detroit Pistons in the 2022 NBA Draft. First, they talk about Jalen Duren, how the pick connected to the Jerami Grant trade, and what it could mean to Detroit’s pursuit of Deandre Ayton in free agency. Then, the boys reflect on Jaden Ivey, how lucky Detroit was that he fell to them, and how he fits into the team’s core alongside Cade Cunningham moving forward.
More discussions on these picks and Detroit’s 2nd round selection(s) will follow in next week’s show.
