"Predicting the Detroit Pistons' NBA Draft Moves"

The Detroit Pistons, who have the first pick in the second round of the NBA draft, may want to consider Keyontae Johnson, a 6-foot-5 wing who helped Kansas State reach the Elite 8.

He also showed tremendous mental and emotional stamina to recover from a health scare in December 2020, when he collapsed on the court while playing for Florida and was diagnosed with "athlete's heart."
