No double-dip: Pistons fall in NBA Draft lottery, get No. 5 pick

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. Detroit fell to No. 7 in the 2020 draft and selected Killian Hayes.

The Orlando Magic won the right to select No. 1 for the fourth time in franchise history. The Oklahoma City will pick second, Houston Rockets third and the Sacramento Kings fourth.
