NBA: Pistons sign draft pick Austin Daye


By LARRY LAGE
AP Sports Writer

DETROIT — The Detroit Pistons have signed first-round draft pick Austin Daye.
The Gonzaga forward signed a two-year guaranteed contract Wednesday and the team holds an option in each of the following two seasons.

Daye averaged 12.7 points and 6.8 rebounds as a sophomore for the Bulldogs. He is the son of former NBA player Darren Daye. The Pistons hope the slender forward can provide frontcourt depth behind Tayshaun Prince.
