The Detroit Pistons are expected to make their lone pick in the 2025 NBA Draft Thursday night, holding the 37th overall selection. It was a quiet first night for the Pistons, who didn’t have a first-round pick this year due to a prior trade, but barring a day-of trade they’ll be the seventh team on the clock for the second round.

In the new batch of NBA mock drafts after the first round, Chaz Lanier is still a popular name connected to the Pistons.

Sixty years ago, the Pistons chose to draft a homegrown hero before any team could take him. That player was Michigan's Bill Buntin from Northern High.
