Pistons director of player personnel George David speaks on second round picks

On Khris Middleton: “A guy we valued very, very high. A first round talent because he can flat out shoot the basketball. We think he’s a very valuable asset.”

On Kim English: “He brings what I would call extreme toughness. He brings a motor to this team that we really value.”

On both and overall draft night: ”These are two guys that we see as fits on this team right now. All three of our picks tonight, we feel extremely lucky to get them.”
