Detroit landed the No. 1 overall pick at Tuesday night’s NBA Draft lottery, much to the delight of Pistons legend Ben Wallace, who represented the team on the ESPN broadcast.
The Pistons are expected to select Oklahoma State star Cade Cunningham to kick off the 2021 NBA Draft. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported shortly after the conclusion of the lottery drawing that Cunningham only plans to visit Detroit before draft day, so it would be a major surprise if he slides down the board.
