Here’s the Detroit Free Press, reporting on the Pistons and the 2014 NBA Draft, which took place last night:
Spencer Dinwiddie didn’t hesitate.
When he was asked to identify his position late Thursday night, the Colorado junior was emphatic.
“I view myself as a pure (point guard),” he said over the phone after the Pistons used their second-round pick, 38th overall, in the NBA draft on Dinwiddie.
“I think I showed that in college.”
The record will show that Dinwiddie, 21, was the first pick of the Stan Van Gundy era of Pistons basketball.
The Pistons get a talented guard with size that is able to get to the rim, distribute and score — a talent growing more and more important in today’s NBA of pick-and-roll basketball.
