Dropping to the 3rd pick could actually work in the favor of the Detroit Pistons, as Paolo Banchero may end up being the best all-around player in the 2022 NBA Draft.
Banchero has been the most impressive of the top picks in the NCAA Tournament is the only one of them that took his team to the Final Four.
He has shown an explosive mix of athleticism and skill, the ability to put the ball on the floor and get to his spots in the mid-range or finish at the rim.

He can shoot the 3-ball, is a willing defender and also happens to be the guy that Cade Cunningham endorses.
Imagine Cade and Paolo, two offensive players with plus size and the ability to create, in the pick-and-roll together for the Detroit Pistons.
He might be the best player and the best fit, though you could easily talk me into either of the top-2 guys as well.
If the Detroit Pistons walk away from this draft with Paolo Banchero and then sign someone like Andre Ayton in free agency, you are going to see me walking around with a big smile on my face for a long time.
