In the previous three years, the Pistons got the No. 1 pick in Cade Cunningham, and the No. 5 pick, in back-to-back years, resulting in Jaden Ivey and Ausar Thompson.

The Pistons enter Sunday’s NBA Draft Lottery with a 14% chance at the top pick, tied with Washington, and a 52.1% chance a landing a top-four pick.

Detroit finished the 2023-2024 season with just 14 wins, a franchise-record, not the good kind.

If the Pistons get the No. 1 overall pick, it’s unclear who they’d target. Many believe this year’s draft class is one of the weakest in recent memory. The top prospects are international.

The 2024 NBA Draft Lottery will take place in Chicago on Sunday, May 12 at 3 p.m.
