The Pistons hold the No. 21 pick in next week\u2019s draft. Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press<\/a> identifies the team\u2019s needs and projects how they could address one of those issues in the draft.<\/p>\n

They could use another shooter and wing depth. Baylor\u2019s Cameron Carr<\/a> or Duke\u2019s Isaiah Evans<\/a> could help fill that void. If they look for another ballhandler, Iowa\u2019s Bennett Stirtz<\/a> or Texas Tech\u2019s Christian Anderson<\/a>\u00a0could be the choice. If they target power forward depth, Washington\u2019s Hannes Steinbach<\/a> or Santa Clara\u2019s Allen Graves<\/a> could wind up in a Detroit uniform.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s more from the Central Division:<\/p>\n

Jaden Bradley<\/a> (Arizona), Skyy Clark<\/a> (UCLA), Tae Davis<\/a> (Oklahoma), Tucker DeVries<\/a> (Indiana), Chaze Harris<\/a> (South Alabama) and Jackson Paveletzke<\/a> (Ohio) attended the Cavaliers pre-draft workout on Wednesday, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com tweets<\/a>. Bradley was the headliner of the group \u2014 he\u2019s ranked No. 38 on ESPN\u2019s\u00a0 Best Available list.
\nPacers big men Micah Potter<\/a> and Jay Huff<\/a> could be fighting for the backup spot behind Ivica Zubac<\/a> next season, if they both make the roster. Indiana holds a club option on Potter\u2019s non-guaranteed contract. Huff\u2019s contract for next season is partially guaranteed. Tony East of CircleCitySpin.com takes a closer<\/a> look<\/a> at their performances from this past season and how each player can be more productive next season.
\nThe Bulls will head into next season with a new front office and coaching staff. They also have a high lottery pick and can open up ample cap space. How can they maximize their flexibility?\u00a0 Yossi Gozlan of ThirdApron.com<\/a> takes a deep dive into that topic in his Bulls offseason preview.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Dana Gauruder | at June 17, 2026 10:43 pm The Pistons hold the No. 21 pick in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":763935,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3773],"tags":[83544,7,2466,57846,93725,38860,296,188,3860,60901,2428,532,83825,2429,4960,32137,6,297,6938,7952],"class_list":["post-763934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-detroit-pistons","tag-allen-graves","tag-basketball","tag-bennett-stirtz","tag-cameron-carr","tag-chaze-harris","tag-christian-anderson","tag-detroit","tag-detroit-pistons","tag-detroitpistons","tag-hannes-steinbach","tag-isaiah-evans","tag-ivica-zubac","tag-jackson-paveletzke","tag-jaden-bradley","tag-jay-huff","tag-micah-potter","tag-nba","tag-pistons","tag-tae-davis","tag-tucker-devries"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116769447177662159","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=763934"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763934\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/763935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=763934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=763934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=763934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
