| Draft Preview: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope |
| Two years ago, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
came out of high school regarded as a
better shooting guard prospect than
classmate Ben McLemore. Can he convince
the Pistons to take him with the No. 8
pick? |
| A Logical Choice |
| Mo Cheeks’ reputation for connecting
with young players should serve him well
with the Pistons, led by Greg Monroe,
Brandon Knight, Kyle Singler and Andre
Drummond from the past three drafts,
Keith Langlois writes for True Blue
Pistons. |
| A Cheeks Fan |
| George Blaha broadcast all of Maurice
Cheeks’ playing career and figured it
