With only one pick in the second round, Detroit had little chance to make a huge impact on what is a pretty broken roster, however they did a good job with the pick they had. Spencer Dinwiddie likely would have gone in the middle of the first round if not for a season ending ACL injury. When healthy, Dinwiddie is a tall, skilled combo guard who can handle the ball, legitimately play some point guard, and shot 41% from 3 last season. The shooting is the key for Detroit, who desperately need even average floor spacing. There is risk that he never comes back fully from the injury, but in the second round it is a risk worth taking due to Dinwiddie's high skill level and what his shooting ability means to the Pistons. It likely isn't going to make a huge difference for Detroit's imbalanced roster, but it is a least a step in the right direction.
