Despite posting the worst record (14-68) in the league last season, the Detroit Pistons earned the No. 5 pick in this year's draft.
It marks the third year in a row for the Pistons to pick from the No. 5 spot, as the lottery balls haven't bounced their way since selecting point guard Cade Cunningham with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 draft.
