The Detroit Pistons are looking to improve their 3-point shooting in the upcoming NBA season, and CBS Sports' Adam Finkelstein has them selecting Iowa point guard Bennett Stirtz with the No. 21 overall pick in his mock draft. Stirtz is a highly skilled true point guard with an elite feel for the game, and he's a big-time shooter, ultra-reliable, and always in the right spots. In Detroit, he checks two boxes. He's a floor-spacer around Cade Cunningham and another ball-handler who can run the offense when Cunningham is off the floor. As a senior, the 6-foot-4 Stirtz averaged 19.8 points per game, 4.4 assists and 1.4 steals. He shot 35.8% from 3-point range en route to second-team All-Big Ten honors in his first season with Iowa, after transferring from Drake. Stirtz has been linked to the Pistons in other mock drafts, with ESPN draft analyst Jeremy Woo pairing the two in a mock draft released in April, as the Pistons were tangling with the Orlando Magic in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.
