The NBA draft is almost here. The Detroit Pistons on Thursday are scheduled to select fifth overall at Barclays Center in New York, looking to add a significant piece to their young core. And there are a variety of prospects they could choose from. The draft features three clear top prospects in Victor Wembanyama, Scoot Henderson and Brandon Miller, each
There are few things I love betting on more than the NBA Draft. It’s volatile. It’s random. And odds shift drastically in the days leading up to it. Last year, when news broke that the Orlando Magic were suddenly wavering on Jabari Smith Jr. and considering Paolo Banchero with the No. 1 overall pick, odds

Taylor Hendricks is one of the last lottery prospects I’m getting up to speed on ahead of the Detroit Pistons’ first-round draft choice on Thursday, and it was easy for me to see why he had such a quick rise. I’ve already closely scouted other prospects in his range, including Ausar Thompson or Jarace Walker,

We don’t need to look at the gambling odds to know who the No. 1 pick will be in the 2023 NBA draft. No, that was determined many years ago, when scouting experts first saw 7-foot-5 phenom Victor Wembanyama. But beyond the man now widely known as just “Wemby,” the NBA draft is wide open.
Detroit — Pre-draft media sessions are typically the time for final questions regarding a team’s direction heading into the NBA Draft. The Pistons are going into Thursday’s draft with two picks — Nos. 5 and 31 — and while the franchise’s first decision is choosing whether to keep or trade the fifth overall pick, general
The 2023 NBA draft is Thursday. The Detroit Pistons have the No. 5 overall pick. And their front office is hard at work evaluating who the best prospect at their position will be. The debates rage on, both in Detroit’s draft war room, around the league and on social media. The Pistons have worked out
Deandre Ayton (Photo by Mike Mulholland/Getty Images) The Phoenix Suns are expected to consider Deandre Ayton trades after acquiring Bradley Beal earlier in the week. The Phoenix Suns swung the first blockbuster trade of the summer last Sunday by acquiring Bradley Beal from the Washington Wizards. Now with an expensive core of Beal, Kevin Durant,
Barring a miracle, this is likely (hopefully) the last time the Detroit Pistons are entering the NBA Draft with a top-5 selection. The last two drafts in particular have borne some fruit in the forms of Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren. Now the Pistons have a crucial choice to make. Do they add
Cam Whitmore is one of the youngest prospects in this year’s NBA Draft. He won’t turn 19 until the start of Summer League play in July. The former 5-star recruit is nearly a year (10 months) younger than Houston’s Jarace Walker, and over a year and a half (19 months) younger than the Overtime Elite’s
It’s NBA Draft week, and outside of the first pick, there are still plenty of questions to be answered on Thursday night. The consensus is the NBA Draft starts at the Houston Rockets’ selection at No. 4, and they could go any number of ways. The options only get more complex for the Detroit Pistons

Detroit — Tanking time is over. For the Pistons, it didn’t really work, unless former No. 1 pick Cade Cunningham blossoms into a superstar. This year’s reward — the fifth pick in a draft with only three notable prizes — is for sale, by most accounts. After tanking time comes tinkering time. And then finally,
