The Detroit Pistons get the exact guy they want and need with this pick.

Caron Butler and Tayshaun Prince are both bordering on ancient and Mario Hezonja injects a sparkplug of life at the 3-spot. If Detroit is able to bring back Reggie Jackson, the team will have some options in the backcourt.

A four-guard rotation of Brandon Jennings, Jackson, Hezonja and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope could be a pretty lethal lineup for Stan Van Gundy to work with in the Motor City.

Hezonja received high billing from international scouts and Stan Van Gundy would be able to help him use his athleticism to become an NBA-style defender.  The Magic will have to take Hezonja into consideration too.
