What happened: Detroit traded up four spots to No. 17 to select Stanford point guard Ebuka Okorie, a player Trajan Langdon had targeted. To get there, the Pistons swapped picks with Memphis, who had slid back one spot to 17 after collecting second-rounders from Oklahoma City. Detroit sent additional second-round capital to move up from 21.

Why it matters: Okorie gives Detroit a 19-year-old downhill creator who can share the backcourt with Cade Cunningham or run the second unit when he sits. His pick-and-roll fit alongside Jalen Duren projects as an immediate source of offense, and his rim pressure was compared to the way Tyrese Maxey and Kyrie Irving collapse defenses off the dribble.

What to watch: Watch how Detroit defines his role behind Cunningham and whether his length translates to the defensive end against NBA guards.
