The 2021 NBA Draft is finally here. In the latest and final edition of our mock draft, we do our best to try and predict what exactly will take place at Thursday night’s festivities.

You can find our final NBA Draft big board here and various draft content here.

Let’s get down to business and get to our final mock, beginning with the Detroit Pistons who will be selecting first and will not trade the pick.

1. Detroit Pistons – Cade Cunningham, G, Oklahoma State

When it comes down to it, the Pistons are not going to overthink this. Cade Cunningham will and should be the pick at the top. He has all the tools to be a star and potential a superstar and that’s not something the Pistons can get cute about.

Detroit starts is rebuild with what they hope will be their future face of the franchise in Cunningham.
