The NBA Draft is here, and I have no idea if Detroit Pistons fans are optimistic or not. On the on hand, the Pistons fell to fifth (again) in what is widely considered a mediocre to poor draft. On the other hand, the No. 5 pick has some actual juice, with the potential that a team like the Memphis Grizzlies could trade up to No. 5 to get the player they want in Donovan Clingan.
If Clingan is available, the Pistons could trade down and net additional assets, but they could also just take their preferred player, and that might be Clingan himself.
