The Detroit Pistons landed in an unfortunate spot on Sunday.
Even though the season is in the rearview for the rebuilding Pistons, they found themselves in a familiar— yet, tough situation on Sunday afternoon.
As half the league gathered for the annual NBA Draft Lottery, the Pistons entered the big event with the best odds of landing the No. 1 overall pick, tired with the Washington Wizards.When the fifth-overall pick was revealed, the Pistons found out that’s where they would be selecting for the third-straight season. Despite putting together a franchise-worst 14-68 record throughout the 2023-2024 regular season, the Pistons aren’t going to be rewarded with a top-four pick.“Three seasons.
The last time the Pistons held the top pick in the draft, they selected Cade Cunningham, who is widely viewed as a potential future All-Star three years into his young career. Since Cunningham, the Pistons have selected intriguing prospects in Jaden Ivey and Ausar Thompson with their top picks. Now, they have to bank on another fifth-overall pick to make an impact as early as their rookie season, and might not have the opportunity to take the top player on their board when they get on the clock.
