It’s not an overstatement to say that the Detroit Pistons are one week away from the most important day in recent franchise history.

The Pistons are hoping to get lucky in the NBA Lottery, grab the number one pick and change the fate of their franchise forever.

It’s crazy that luck plays such a huge role in team building, but it’s true that the destiny of the Pistons is going to be shaped one way or another.

The Pistons’ pick is going to be in the top six, but the difference between pick number one and number six could be the difference between being a contender in a few years or being a perpetual lottery team.
