Detroit Pistons

Gbinije struggled in his lone game beyond the arc shooting 2-for-10 for 10 points in a 81-49 rout of the New York Knicks.

Gbinije was snatched sooner than expected, by a few spots at 49, but about 20-30 picks lower than he would have if he weren’t 24 years old.

Former Syracuse guard Michael Gbinije, taken with the No. 49 pick overall by the Detroit Pistons, credited the Orange coaching staff for helping him transition into the NBA.
