The season is over for the Detroit Pistons, which is nothing new. But with less than 10 games left in a historically bad 2023-24 campaign, it’s time to dive deep into this year’s NBA Draft prospects.
With a 12-61 record, the Pistons almost certainly secured the top odds in the draft lottery. The bad news is, they will share the same odds with two others teams, giving each franchise with a bottom three record an equal shot at the No. 1 overall pick.
If the Pistons finish with the NBA’s worst record, which they currently own by a two-game margin over the Washington Wizards, the lowest they can select is fifth overall.
