Detroit Pistons
Jalen Green will almost certainly become a Houston Rocket during the 2021 NBA draft, but he’d like to go at another pick if he had his way. Green is intent on going No. 1 and is lobbying for the spot. However, most experts believe the Detroit Pistons will take Cade Cunningham with the top pick.
If the Detroit Pistons opt to hold onto their first-round pick at the July 29 NBA draft, it will be the first time in more than 50 years the franchise will be picking first overall.

The Detroit Pistons picked Darko Milicic with the second pick in the 2003 NBA draft ahead of Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade. He became a huge NBA draft bust even though he thought he was better than No. 1 pick, LeBron James. Detroit will have a chance to atone in the 2021 draft.

Cade Cunningham will only meet with one team prior to the 2021 NBA Draft, the Detroit Pistons. However, the Pistons, who are drafting No. 1 for the third time in franchise history, are reportedly considering two other players as well, USC’s Evan Mobley and G League Ignite’s Jalen Green.
In this post lottery 2021 NBA mock draft, the Pistons win big with Cade Cunningham, No. 2 prospect Evan Mobley falls to No. 3, and Baylor’s Davion Mitchell takes the biggest tumble. There are no trades in this mock draft and every team takes all it picks, even if a trade is likely.
Reggie Miller and Isiah Thomas played in the same era of the NBA. Miller is an Indiana Pacers legend while Thomas won two championships with the Detroit Pistons. However, Miller recently said he couldn’t stand Thomas whenever they played each other during their careers, and he ultimately revealed why that was the case.
