Important Information:
Detroit can fall no lower than 5th
While having the worst record no longer guarantees the highest odds at pick one it does ensure the Pistons can fall no lower than fifth in tonight’s lottery.
Below are the percentage odds Detroit have for each of the top five positions per Tankaton.com:
- 14.0%
- 13.4%
- 12.7%
- 12.0%
- 47.9%
The team with the worst record is yet to win the lottery
Since the NBA re-jigged the lottery odds in 2019, the franchise with the lowest amount of wins is yet to capture the Draft’s greatest prize.
In the four NBA Drafts since the changes, the team with the odds in their favor have selected at two and three twice each.

If Detroit wins the lottery it’s time to party!
In what was a grueling 82-game season tonight has the potential to make all the pain worth it. In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past six months this year’s draft class is headlined by the 7-foot-4 phenom, Victor Wembanyama.
The 19-year-old Frenchman has many draft experts pegging him as perhaps the best prospect in 20 years since LeBron James back in 2003.
Wembanyama is the type of prospect that not only enhances the on-court product immediately, but the city of Detroit will garner global attention not seen in…ever?
