Chicago — Forget what the mock drafts say. Forget what the skeptics might say. Forget even what the safe path might be.

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
In April, Cade Cunningham finished third in the NBA Rookie of the Year race. So the Detroit Pistons’ 2021 first overall pick’s latest award isn’t a surprise.

It’s too early to deliver a verdict on the Detroit Pistons’ rebuild. But nearly three years in, this much is clear — they’ve done a good job at drafting. They’ve produced three All-Rookie players in the last two drafts, which Troy Weaver dutifully reminded reporters and fans after Tuesday’s unsatisfying lottery outcome in which the Pistons
When the Detroit Pistons won the NBA draft lottery last year, Troy Weaver said his faith never wavered. He would have been as ready to pick fifth or first. The Pistons general manager is going to need to lean on that faith again this year after his team was one of the lottery’s biggest losers
The bad news for the Pistons is, they fell out of the NBA Draft’s top three. Good news is, they won’t have to engage in the loud, rancorous debate over which super-hyped players should go one, two, or three. With one flip of the lottery card Tuesday night, the Pistons’ focus shifted, and so will
Detroit Pistons fans were disappointed by the results of Tuesday night’s NBA Draft lottery in Chicago. Pistons general manager Troy Weaver on the other hand? Not so much.

Trouble was brewing for Detroit fans after deputy NBA commissioner Mark Tatum announced during the Chicago ceremony that the
The Detroit Pistons couldn’t get the lottery luck for a second year in a row. Detroit fell two spots and landed the No. 5 selection in the 2022 draft during Tuesday night’s NBA Draft Lottery in Chicago. It represents the second time in franchise history that the Pistons have fallen exactly two spots in the draft.
The Detroit Pistons finally caught a break in the 2021 NBA Draft Lottery, winning the No. 1 overall pick and the right to select prized prospect Cade Cunningham. While again entering Tuesday night’s 2022 lottery tied for the top odds, will luck favor general manager Troy Weaver’s rebuild for the second year in a row?
