The wait for the 2021 NBA Draft is over. It's hard to believe, but it really is finally here — just a mere three days before the calendar flips from July to August. This year's draft is later than normal, but still way earlier than last year, when the 2020 NBA Draft, and basically everything else, was delayed by the COVID-19 global pandemic.
Detroit remains coy about what it will do with the No. 1 overall pick. But, at this point, anything other than former Oklahoma State star Cade Cunningham being selected first would qualify as surprising.
Is that guaranteed? Of course not.
Again, the Pistons have done a nice job of keeping their so-called cards close to their so-called vest. But I've long been led to believe, when the actual draft goes down, Detroit will do what most NBA franchises would do in this situation, and that's take the 6-8 point guard who can comfortably play on or off the ball and appears ready to perform and produce at the next level immediately even though he won't turn 20 until September.
Cunningham should, and likely will, go No. 1.

After that, Jalen Green, Evan Mobley and Jalen Suggs will probably come off the board in some order — and any order, in my opinion, is defensible. Either way, soon enough, all of the speculation will be in the rearview mirror. Commissioner Adam Silver will announce the first-round picks live from Barclays Center in Brooklyn later Thursday, at which point he'll make 30 dreams come true and help shape the future of some franchises, in many cases, for years to come.
