In May 2009, ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla considered Jerebko one of the top five European prospects in the 2009 NBA draft.[2] He was subsequently selected with the 39th overall pick by the Detroit Pistons, becoming the second Swedish national player to be selected in the NBA after the Swedish-born American Miles Simon. His career in the NBA got off to a rough-and-tumble start; in a preseason game, Jerebko was accused of punching Miami Heat center Jamaal Magloire in the face. Both players were suspended for the opening game of the regular season game for the ensuing fight.[3] Jerebko's hustle and determination early on in 2009–10 made him a fan favorite. He was selected as a member of the Rookie Team as part of the 2010 Rookie Challenge and Youth Jam during the NBA All-Star Weekend. He appeared in 80 games (73 starts) for the Pistons as a rookie, averaging 9.3 points (.481 FG, .313 3FG), 6.0 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.99 steals in 27.9 minutes per game. He was among NBA rookie leaders ranked third in rebounds, fourth in blocks (0.36 bpg), fifth in minutes (27.9 mpg), eighth in steals, 10th in scoring and tied for 18th in assists. His 73 games as a starter ranks second in franchise history amongst rookies behind Kelly Tripucka who started all 82 games during the 1981–82 season.[4]

On October 5, 2010, Jerebko strained his right Achilles' tendon in a preseason game against the Miami Heat.[5] He subsequently missed the entire 2010–11 season.
