For starters, can I just say how amazing it feels to write this with the Detroit Pistons not slated to pick No. 5 overall in the NBA Draft for what seems like the 15th time in a row? Of course, this is the first time since the team traded a chance to draft Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for Blake Griffin in 2018. The NBA Draft still brings a ton of intrigue, and even more uncertainty beyond Cooper Flagg going first, and Dylan Harper likely going second. After that, chaos will surely ensue, and Pistons fans can watch for leisure.
