The NBA Draft is finally here, but that is where the clarity seems to end. During a somewhat unpredictable draft evaluation process, perhaps it is fitting we are ending it with absolute chaos among your friendly staff at Detroit Bad Boys over who makes up the optimal players likely to be available when the Pistons
We’ve all got a type. That includes Detroit Pistons GM Troy Weaver. We’ve seen the soft-spoken Weaver meander through three drafts during his time in Detroit. Each time, he’s been drawn toward prospects who fit a certain archetype — one that spans beyond positionality. It’s hard to explain but, weirdly, I feel like describing it
The 2023 NBA draft, at last, is finally here. The Detroit Pistons will have the fifth and 31st picks and are deciding between six lottery prospects they’ve worked out in recent weeks, per sources — Overtime Elite twins Amen and Ausar Thompson, Villanova wing Cam Whitmore, Houston forward Jarace Walker, UCF forward Taylor Hendricks and
Troy Weaver isn’t planning on hiring any bank robbers. The Pistons’ general manager isn’t about to get mugged, either. But he wouldn’t mind stealing another pick or player — or both — in tonight’s NBA Draft. And if he can get away with it, that’s exactly what he should do. The Pistons hold the fifth
Detroit — With less than 24 hours until the first name is called in the 2023 NBA Draft, the transactions around the league are starting to pile up and many are wondering if the Pistons will make a move on draft night. The Boston Celtics reportedly are closing in on a three-team trade to acquire
We hear from manager A.J. Hinch after the offense for the Tigers breaks out with nine runs this afternoon against the Royals.

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,
The Pistons Pulse is brought to you by The Detroit Free Press and is co hosted by Bryce Simon of MotorCityHoops and Omari Sankofa II, Detroit Pistons beat writer for The Detroit Free Press.

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
