Jarrett Allen – #12 to Detroit

Basketball Insiders writer Michael Scotto picked Allen for one of the three “D teams” selecting in the Lottery.

Allen paired up with Andre Drummond could be a lethal combination for the Pistons, who are moving into a new arena. They also debuted a new logo calling back to their successful late 1980s period.

Allen needs to work on his physicality and toughness in the NBA after playing a little quiet at times at Texas. And, Detroit would certainly be a place to learn how to become a force in the paint.

This would be a good landing spot for Allen if selected in the Lottery portion of the first round.
