Summary
The Detroit Pistons have a knack for drafting late-round gems—and this year’s 21st pick, Karim Lopez, could be their next hidden treasure. From Dennis Rodman’s two DPOY titles and championship glory to Mehmet Okur’s pivotal role in the 2004 title run, and even Khris Middleton’s eventual All-Star stardom with Milwaukee, these second-round steals prove that talent isn’t always found early. The “what if” of trading Middleton for Brandon Jennings still haunts fans—but history shows Detroit’s late picks can redefine franchises.
