In the 2024-25 season, the Cade Cunningham-led Detroit Pistons finally exercised postseason demons in winning a Playoffs game for the first time in 17 years. This season, the group will look to continue building on their growing success in what's sure to be a down Eastern Conference.

The Pistons have been no strangers to the draft in recent years, grabbing Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren, Ausar Thompson, Ron Holland and more to round out their core. The Pistons' first round selections were once the most valuable in the entire league. But with the team primed to finally win games, they're likely looked at less valuably.
