Pistons draft: Green or Mobley? What Detroit should do with the #2 pick

The Detroit Pistons hold the second-best odds in the 2021 NBA Draft Lottery. That placement gives Detroit a three-way tie with the Houston Rockets and Orlando Magic for best odds to land the number one pick. It also means the Pistons can fall no lower than sixth overall after the lottery.

Detroit obviously would like to move up in the lottery and select Oklahoma State’s Cade Cunningham with the first overall pick, but moving up in the lottery is far from a guarantee.
