The NBA draft is Thursday. A wide range of outcomes remain possible for the Detroit Pistons, who are in a precarious position with the fifth overall pick. They’ll be able to choose from a variety of wings and forwards who would address various needs, both short and long term. They have worked out, according to team sources, Overtime Elite twins Amen and Ausar Thompson, Villanova freshman Cam Whitmore, Houston freshman Jarace Walker, UCF freshman Taylor Hendricks and Arkansas freshman Anthony Black in the past two weeks. All six players are lottery locks, and at least five of them will likely be available when the Pistons are on the clock. Of course, they could also trade the pick to move down the draft order, or for more immediate and proven help. We know general manager Troy Weaver isn’t shy about making moves to improve the roster. The draft picture will continue to evolve into Thursday night.
