Detroit — The Pistons will cross off another vital item from their offseason checklist Thursday night when the NBA Draft takes place in Brooklyn.
The Pistons currently have the fifth overall pick, along with the No. 31 pick, which means two new players could join the team in Detroit soon.
There is a consensus among most NBA draft experts that the Pistons will select Villanova forward Cam Whitmore with the fifth pick if he's still available. The 6-foot-6 forward averaged 12.5 points and 5.3 rebounds in his freshman season with the Wildcats before declaring for the draft.
