Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer had the ball at the top of the key and made an entry pass to the paint for an easy layup. She later passed to Saben Lee, who drove to the basket and scored. That’s not some weird political-sports mashup. Or maybe it is. Whitmer became a Piston for a day

New York — After making a splash in the first round with Cade Cunningham, the Pistons finished out the second round of the draft with some familiar names. The Pistons selected Michigan’s Isaiah Livers, a 6-foot-7 forward, with the 42nd pick and then followed with Iowa big man Luka Garza — the national player of

New York — The chances that the Pistons would somehow mess up the draft were low. They entered with the No. 1 overall pick and had three second-round selections, so things were trending toward them making pretty safe moves and not doing too much.

Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Tick tock. The Pistons are on the clock with the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft, and all eyes will be on general manager Troy Weaver for clues on what he could decide to do with the selection. The decision looks to be down to two options: Cade or trade.

The Pistons don’t know who their No. 1 pick will be in Thursday’s NBA Draft, but they already have a schedule for the Summer League in Las Vegas. The summer extravaganza will take place on the campus of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas from Aug. 8-17 and will feature all 30 NBA teams. The Pistons

Troy Weaver has been willing to do just about anything as Pistons GM. Trades, signings, tanking, draft maneuvering. When you think he’s done dealing, he deals again. But he wouldn’t do this, would he? He wouldn’t pass on Oklahoma State star Cade Cunningham and trade the No. 1 selection, would he? I don’t think he

In his pre-draft media talk, Pistons general manager Troy Weaver obviously wasn’t going to give away who the team plans to select with the No. 1 pick in Thursday’s NBA Draft.
