The Detroit Pistons will pick fifth in the 2022 NBA draft June 23. It’s not the outcome the team preferred, as they entered Tuesday’s lottery in the third spot. But it’s an outcome they’re still happy with and will be the team’s third-highest pick post 1994. Historically, the fifth slot has produced star-level talent, and general
