Pistons select Henry Ellenson with 18th pick in NBA Draft

The Detroit Pistons selected Marquette's Henry Ellenson with the No. 18 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.

At 6-foot-10 and 240 pounds, Ellenson already has the ideal body for a NBA big man. A natural power forward, Ellenson has the ability to slide over to center in smaller lineups, making him a difficult matchup for slower bigs should he continue to improve upon his three-point shot.

Given the Pistons' dire need for more size at power forward, Ellenson slots in perfectly alongside Andre Drummond.

Ellenson has a diverse offensive skill set, which could help make up for his shortage of natural athletic ability and explosiveness.

The Marquette product was not a good defender in college, and his lack of physical tools would suggest he's never going to be great at that end of the court.
