The Detroit Pistons hit the lottery when they were given the chance to select first overall in the 2021 NBA Draft. Cade Cunningham was the price of the draft and he is now the new centerpiece in Detroit. Cunningham joins a talented group of young players that the Pistons are hoping will be a core moving forward.
