The Detroit Pistons selected Arizona forward Chase Budginer with their No. 44 pick and immediately traded his rights to the Houston Rockets.  Detroit will receive a future 2nd round selection, cash, and a box of basketball pumps in return. Okay, the pumps were not part of the deal, but I hope there's a little extra cash thrown in there.

I was actually pretty happy we got Budinger with our final pick predominantely because many projected him to go in the first round.  I was hoping it would be a steal at that point in the draft.  He's a sharp shooter with a little size to him, but apparently something went terribly awry during all the workouts because Budinger's stock slipped big time.  I remember during the first week of workouts Budinger was being looked at as a possibility for the Pistons No. 15 spot.

With the trade, your final Detroit Pistons 2009 Draft, as reiterated by msufan23, is Austin Daye, DaJuan Summers, Jonas Jerebko, a future 2nd rounder, and cash.
