Detroit Pistons Score Top Pick in 2021 NBA Draft Lottery
It’s a historic moment for the Detroit Pistons, as for the first time since 1970, the team will select first overall in the NBA Draft.
Detroit was up against Orlando and Houston, as far as the odds go, to get that top pick, and the Motor City came out on top.
This is also the first time since the NBA’s annual draft lottery started that the Pistons scored the slot.
It’s the third time in franchise history that the Pistons landed the No. 1 selection.
