My Prediction: Malcolm Brogdon Actual 2016 NBA Draft: Henry Ellenson

I saw this spot as the occasion for shooting guard Malcolm Brogdon from Virginia to come off the board, which did not happen until the 6th pick of the second round. Instead, the Detroit Pistons grab themselves a power forward I had projected coming off the board at 14, Henry Ellenson.

The Pistons selected a worthy four, someone who should be able to hold his own on an NBA basketball court. But he is raw, and as such there were some questions about his draft position. I emphasized his size and talent a tad more than the NBA did.

But Brogdon’s fall truly surprised me. While he had some pieces to work on, he did boast a well rounded game in both offense and defense. His drawback was quickness. And so I fail to grab any points with this spot.
