In what has become an annual tradition, I typed up some brief notes on who to watch during the first day of our weekend-long basketball holiday also known as the 2022 NCAA Tournament. There are always reasons to pay close attention to the tourney — the upsets, the gambling, the fun. But for Detroit Pistons fans, it’s also a great chance to take a closer look at some of the 2022 NBA Draft’s top prospects — and potential future Pistons — as they face high pressure and tougher competition.
Think of this as your game-to-game guide to the players on every roster who are most intriguing from a future growth or NBA prospect perspective.
