Detroit Pistons draft: Trading for OG Anunoby

If the Detroit Pistons land in the top-3 of the 2023 NBA Draft, there is a very good chance that they will just take the best player available and they should. But the draft is a huge crapshoot beyond that, so trading the 4th or 5th pick for an established player does make some sense.

Would this be enough to land a top-5 wing defender in the NBA?

Toronto may immediately hang up the phone on this deal unless there is someone they really like with the 4th pick. They also may want nothing to do with Bojan Bogdanovic, who is a better shooter than Anunoby, but a traffic cone on defense.

But what about the Detroit Pistons? Would they give up both of their draft picks and their best veteran to get Anunoby?
