Next: All the odds for possible picks Pistons could end up with
While the Pistons have just a 0.7% chance to win the top overall pick, they have a 2.5% chance of landing one of the top three picks. If they don’t move into the top three, they will pick 12th, unless the Nuggets and/or Heat move into the top three. In that case, the Pistons will get bumped down the draft board.
