The Detroit Pistons selected Dash Daniels in a recent NBA mock draft, which would be somewhat surprising, as many expect them to trade their pick for an upgrade at the deadline.
The Pistons didn’t have a 1st-round pick in the 2025 draft after a long-owed pick finally came due, and it wouldn’t be shocking if that were the case again next year, as the Pistons have been included in just about every trade rumor and would likely be giving up draft assets if they are acquiring an impact player.
The Pistons are already loaded with young talent, so would probably prefer to trade the earliest possible future picks, as they are likely to be a playoff team for the foreseeable future, but that also makes those picks less valuable in a trade.
