On the night of the NBA Draft, the Pistons had a decision to make between Cade Cunningham and Jalen Green with the No. 1 overall pick.
The Pistons chose Cunningham and Green landed with the Houston Rockets with the second pick. That seemed to start a personal rivalry — at least on Green’s part — because he thought that he should have been the top selection.
Green stoked more of the vitriol with some comments about Detroit in a story by Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes.
“I wanted to be the No. 1 pick, but as for the location, I didn't want to be in Detroit,” Green told Yahoo Sports.
