Why This Trade Would Work For The Detroit Pistons

The Detroit Pistons are in the process of rebuilding and the biggest part of a rebuild is stacking up as many draft picks as possible. The Pistons will likely want a young player to try to develop, which is where Justin Jackson comes into play, but they are mostly concerned with the draft compensation.

Stacking up draft picks is the single most important thing when it comes to rebuilding an organization from the ground up and adding some youth to their roster is also very important.

Justin Jackson is a solid prospect who has shown some good things when given minutes. He could be a solid stopgap option on the wing for the Pistons as a spot up threat that can do a little bit off the dribble.

The Pistons could utilize the draft picks they get in return for their backup shooting guard and use them to build towards their future. The future of these two teams could be bright if a deal goes through.
