While there’s no guarantee who the Pistons will end up drafting, the very smart money is on Cade Cunningham out of Oklahoma State.

Most of you probably don’t know this, but I grew up as a gigantic fan of the Detroit Pistons. When I was a kid, Ben Wallace, Rip Hamilton, Chauncey Billups, Rasheed Wallace and company were a dominant NBA squad, and they even beat the Lakers to win an NBA title.
Over the past several years, the team has fallen off of a cliff, but all the necessary pieces are there to rebuild.
