In this version, the Pistons don’t go with the safer pick but instead take a big swing for the fences on upside. Anyone who says they know for certain what Detroit is going to do is probably trying to sell you something, so there are still a number permutations that could happen leading up to draft day.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 1. player. 29. Forward/Center. Metropolitans 92. Victor Wembanyama
I’m already sick of the Spurs and their never-ending string of draft luck. They’ve only really tanked twice in my lifetime and both times yielded a possible generational big man in the draft. Wembanyama looks every bit the part of a superstar and as long as he can stay healthy, is going to immediately improve the Spurs on both ends.
The only good thing about this pick is at least the Houston Rockets and their insufferable fans didn’t get it.
