As fans of the Detroit Pistons gear up for a high lottery pick in a draft loaded with star power, I can’t shake the memories of their failed drafts. 2003, 2005, 2011, and 2015 all come to mind.
In some years, the Detroit Pistons made the correct choice with their first-round pick. Hindsight is a very useful tool, and in some cases, Detroit made the seemingly obvious choice only to be proved wrong down the line.
