Form held in the draft lottery Tuesday -- at least for the Pistons -- and now speculation will center on whom the team will target, or whether they'll package the pick in a trade. Joe Dumars, president of basketball operations, will keep his options open, although he likes where the Pistons stand. "The phones start ringing now because you know the (drafting) position," Dumars said. "We'll take phone calls and make phone calls and see what happens. "We think it's a deep enough draft we can get somebody who can come in and help us right away." That somebody will likely be a player with size, said Dumars, who added this draft is stocked with talented big men. "To balance our roster out, we have to make sure we add young bigs to our team," Dumars said. "At first glance that's what we'd look at. The other thing I'd say to that is, we won't just draft a big for the sake of drafting a big." Scott Perry, vice president of basketball operations, represented the Pistons on the dais during the lottery. Dumars and the rest of his staff are heading to Chicago for a two-day draft camp which begins Thursday. After that, the Pistons, who also pick in the second round (36th overall), will bring in potential draft picks for individual workouts. The Nets, who had the league's worst record, were projected to draft first overall but fell to third. The Wizards will pick first, followed by the 76ers. The order of all teams in the lottery: 1. Washington 2. Philadelphia 3. New Jersey 4. Minnesota 5. Sacramento 6. Golden State 7. Detroit 8. L.A. Clippers 9. Utah 10. Indiana 11. New Orleans 12. Memphis 13. Toronto 14. Houston Davis looks like good bet for Detroit With the seventh pick in June's draft, the Pistons have plenty of options. They are set at small forward and shooting guard, with a glaring deficiency inside. Assuming they don't trade the pick, it's likely they'll go for a big man. Georgia Tech forward Derrick Favors has arguably the most potential and Kentucky center DeMarcus Cousins is probably the most NBA-ready post player. Neither is expected to slip too far from the top five. That leaves Ekpe Udoh (Baylor), Ed Davis (North Carolina), Cole Aldrich (Kansas), and Greg Monroe (Georgetown). They'll need scoring and athleticism inside, so they'll take Davis. --
