#27

The Detroit Pistons select Aaron Afflalo! Interesting selection ahead of Derrick Byars, but he's a solid player who plays a similar game to Byars. He's not as good though, so I'm not sure why they make this pick here. Not a terrible pick though, I just don't like him over Byars. In fact, I think the Afflalo hate has been way too overblown.

Also being reported is that the Sonics are now looking to actively resign Rashard Lewis, which is of course the correct move. You can't turn your franchise over to two rookies. It's also reported that Wally Szerbiak has been traded to Seattle instead of Theo Ratliff. Good backup for the young guys, and he can start if one or both of the rookies aren't ready yet.
