It’s already (finally?) time for Detroit Pistons fans to start looking at who is being talked about as the top prospects in the 2022 NBA Draft. The team is currently in the running for the worst record in the NBA, and it’s hard to see how that won’t be the case all season without drastic internal improvement from the Pistons’ young players.
It is nearly assured the Pistons will be picking in the top 10, and it’s a decent bet they’ll be picking in the top 5. As fans begin thinking about who the team should be looking at with its upcoming draft pick, I am going to preview who is being considered in the top 10 at this early point in the season as well as argue for one player I think should also be considered here at the top that the consensus has ranked much lower.
