NBA Mock Draft 2016: Detroit Pistons Get Backcourt Help
By Zac Snyder

6. New Orleans Pelicans
Jamal Murray . 6. player. 69. This pick could go in a lot of different ways considering the multitude of needs the Pelicans have, but at this spot with the board falling how it has in the first five picks, adding the best available shooter and scorer makes perfect sense.. SG. Kentucky
7. Denver Nuggets
Buddy Hield . 7. player. 73. Buddy Hield instantly improves the Nuggets’ shooting ability. The Nuggets are another team with a very young core so adding a player with substantial college experience like Hield isn’t a bad thing.. SG. Oklahoma
8. Sacramento Kings
Michigan State. Denzel Valentine . 8. player. 67. A run on backcourt players is not what the Kings want to see ahead of their pick as it forces what some might call a big reach with Denzel Valentine going in the top 8.

9. Toronto Raptors
PF. Washington. Marquese Chriss . 9. player. 81. The Raptors find themselves in a good spot with the ninth pick for need and value to meet. Marquese Chriss has been a hot name in draft circles of late as he has rapidly developed. He makes perfect sense for the Raptors as a player who can step in without having to fill a huge role right away while taking on a bigger role if his development continues.
10. Milwaukee Bucks
Jakob Poeltl . 10. player. 89. <a href=. PF. Utah
