Pistons second-round pick Gabriele Procida to be stashed overseas

Procida this week signed a three-year contract with Alba Berlin of the BBL in Germany.

Gabriele Procida, a 6-foot-7 forward from Fortitudo Bologna in Italy, this week signed a three-year contract with Alba Berlin of the BBL in Germany, the team announced.

The Detroit Pistons acquired the draft rights to Procida on Wednesday as the 36th pick from the Portland Trail Blazers in the deal involving Jerami Grant. They selected Procida with the intention of stashing him overseas, and that move materialized this week.

Procida is not expected to participate play in the Las Vegas Summer League but is with the team and has observed some practices, according to Keith Langlois of Pistons.com. He was seen with head coach Dwane Casey and Cunningham watching the Pistons on Thursday.

Procida, who was born in Italy, averaged seven points and three rebounds on 38.3% shooting from 3-point range in 26 games last season. He produced perhaps his best game of the year on Dec. 13, recording a season-high 19 points and seven rebounds.

The 20-year-old debuted with the Italian senior team at the 2022 EuroBasket qualifier and had 10 points and three rebounds in a loss to North Macedonia. He also played in the 2019 FIBA U18 European Championship, averaging 13.1 points and 4.6 rebounds.

He will have the opportunity to play at least one more season overseas and develop in the top German league. He could join the Pistons after the upcoming season.

Italian forward Gabriele Procida to remain in NBA draft

Procida, a 6-foot-7 forward from Fortitudo Bologna, will reportedly remain in the NBA draft.

Gabriele Procida, a 6-foot-7 forward from Fortitudo Bologna in Italy, will reportedly remain in the 2022 NBA draft, according to Jonathan Givony of ESPN.

Procida, who was born in Italy, averaged 6.9 points and three rebounds on 38.3% shooting from 3-point range in 26 games this season. He produced perhaps his best game of the year on Dec. 13, recording a season-high 19 points and seven rebounds.

The 6-foot-7 forward was among those prospects that participated in the draft combine last month in Chicago, Illinois. He measured in with a 6-foot-8 wingspan and recorded a 3.02-second three-quarter sprint, which was tied for the fastest time.

Procida had until 5 p.m. EDT on Monday to withdraw from the draft.

He debuted with the Italian senior team at the 2022 EuroBasket qualifier and had 10 points and three rebounds in a loss to North Macedonia. He also played in the 2019 FIBA U18 European Championship, averaging 13.1 points and 4.6 rebounds.

Procida is considered a potential second-round pick this year. He previously tested the pre-draft process last year but elected to return to Italy for one more season. He has great athleticism and is highly touted as a 3-and-D prospect.

The NBA draft will take place on June 23.

The best prospects in the world are all competing for the top spot in the 2022 NBA draft and it is hard to sort how everyone is stacking up.

The best prospects in the world are all competing for the top spot in the 2022 NBA draft and it is hard to sort how everyone is stacking up.

In order to help us get a better sense of where all of the projected top prospects in the class stand as of right now, we compiled mock drafts from Draft Express (ESPN), Aran Smith (NBADraft.net), Sam Vecenie (The Athletic), Jonathan Wasserman (Bleacher Report), Chad Ford (NBA Big Board), Krysten Peek (Yahoo), Matt Babcock (Basketball News) as well as USA TODAY Sports Media Group’s For The Win.

Please note that these rankings reflect the composite score in order to get a feel for consensus, not our own opinion. Predictions for a first overall pick earned a player 58 points while the second overall pick earned 57 points, the third overall earned 56 points, and so on.

AJ Griffin (Duke), Alondes Williams (Wake Forrest), Iverson Molinar (Mississippi State), Orlando Robinson (Fresno State), Walker Kessler (Fresno State), Justin Lewis (Marquette), Christian Braun (Kansas), and Tari Eason (LSU) have improved their draft stock the most since our most recent update last month.\

The most notable prospects who made their debut on our rankings were Shaedon Sharpe (Kentucky), David Roddy (Colorado State), and Jaylin Williams (Arkansas).

Meanwhile, the top prospects who were not included in any of these recent mock drafts are Daimion Collins (Kentucky), Alex Fudge (LSU), Justin Moore (Villanova), Darius Days (LSU), Jared Rhoden (Seton Hall), Tre Mitchell (Texas), Dawson Garcia (North Carolina), and more.
