Indianapolis — As the Detroit Pistons recorded their 59th victory of the season against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night, their draft stock simultaneously improved.
Following the Toronto Raptors’ 112-95 loss to the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, the Pistons’ pick swap with the Minnesota Timberwolves has been conveyed. As a result, the Pistons will enter the 2026 NBA Draft holding the 21st overall selection. This marks a move up seven spots from Detroit’s original selection at No. 28.
