Ebuka Okorie
Ebuka Okorie is the Stanford freshman who measured 6'1.25" at the combine but plays bigger than that — a 6'7.75" wingspan and 8'2" standing reach give him a +6.5" length-over-height edge that's rare for a lead guard, and he's pairing it with 23.8 / 3.8 / 3.7 on 46/35 splits as a 19-year-old. The Pistons math is specific: a scoring point who can run the second unit so Cade can rest, defend up onto bigger guards because the length actually plays, and share the floor with Cade in two-PG looks where someone else has to bring the ball up. The risk is the frame — 186 pounds, not yet a primary on-ball defender against starting NBA guards, and the pull-up jumper has to hold up against NBA speed, not Pac-12 wings. Realistic range looks like mid-teens to late first, and at #21 he's a swing on length + shotmaking rather than a positional-size bet.
