The skinny: The Pistons worked him out last year and liked what they saw. Hardin hasn't developed as expected, but he's still one of the biggest, most athletic players in the draft. His performance at the Orlando predraft camp helped his cause a little.

Although we’re still waiting for a true breakout performance from DeVon Hardin, today was another solid outing from the Cal senior. He was again aggressive with his post-moves, converting on two very nice moves, one a drop-step and another a hook shot, and also blocked two shots on the defensive end. He did show again his poor hands by bobbling a few passes and also blowing a dunk, which may have taken away a little bit from his performance. It was nice to see how aggressive he was, though, and you certainly can’t argue with his NBA body or superb athleticism.

Kamen had terrible hands at CMU when I went there. You can improve your hands for sure.
