Pistons were a terrible drafting team for the entirety of the time period in this game. Not just most of it. All of it.

There will likely be a few Piston draftees selected in this game, but few if any who will be selected in seasons for us.

Current hot-starting team built almost entirely on guys drafted too recently to be eligable here.

Not just him. Stanley Johnson, Luke Kennard, Austin Daye, Killian Hayes, Saddiq Bey, Luke Kennard, Brandon Knight, Greg Monroe, Henry Ellenson....

That's NINE first rounders within the time frame I was able to name besides Sekou who I was able to mention without ANY fear of name dropping. And multiple years without a first. There is ONE Piston first rounder I think will likely be selected, and a second who has a chance to be picked. And a second rounder who barely played for us who will likely be picked. Only one (who may not be selected) would be in a Piston season.

Eeek.

2018 really was a crazy draft. So many high-level options for every category of player.

I wish Dragic was eligible as Slovenian magic backcourt could have been fun in weak pool.
It's going to be a glorious day... I feel my luck could change

Are there any players somehow eligible for multiple drafts?

Now I can have them as my 3rd and 4th

KAT and Mikal Bridges

You need to replace KAT, he's in the same draft class as Booker
