The 2021 NBA Draft is just one week away and our Detroit Pistons currently hold the No. 7 overall pick in the first round.

That being said, there has been a deal of speculation that the Minnesota Timberwolves want to trade the No. 1 overall pick and according to the latest 2021 NBA Mock Draft put out by CBS Sports, the Pistons could be the team to bite.
The mock draft, which was put together by Colin Ward-Henninger, has the Pistons trading up to No. 1 and then selecting PG LaMelo Ball.
From CBS Sports:
The Timberwolves reportedly want to trade down, and the Pistons reportedly want to trade up with a close eye on Ball, so this makes sense. The deal could look something like No. 1 and James Johnson for No. 7, Detroit’s 2022 first-round pick (maybe with protections) and Tony Snell. That way the Wolves get a win-now piece and a future asset, while the Pistons get a potential franchise player to commence the rebuild without losing their pick in next year’s loaded 2021 draft class.
Nation, would you like to see the Pistons trade up to No. 1 and select LaMelo Ball?
