The NBA Draft Lottery takes place tonight at about 8:30 p.m. Eastern, but it’ll take quite a bit of luck for the Pistons to make a move up.
Bad luck in last year's NBA Draft cost the Detroit Pistons their first round pick, but it may not wind up making much of a difference. And the bright side is at least the team won't have to sit out the first round this year.
Like 2014, the Pistons are slotted for the eighth pick which gives them 28 out of the 1,000 chances for the top draft pick.
