With the Detroit Pistons dealing with an early playoff exit after being the Eastern Conference’s No. 1 seed, the team now looks to the 2026 NBA Draft to hopefully add another impact player. As rumors surround the Pistons ahead of the NBA Draft, this NBA insider looks at two options for the team.
Detroit owns the No. 21 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, as ClutchPoints NBA insider Brett Siegel predicts the Pistons to take Baylor’s Cameron Carr. His name, along with Stanford’s Ebuka Okorie, has “emerged” for Detroit ahead of Tuesday, especially since the thought around the league is the franchise adding another guard “who has the ability to create scoring opportunities for himself.”
“Finding Cade Cunningham some help is the Pistons’ priority, and both Carr and Okorie could do so as young, dynamic talents with room to grow,” Siegel wrote.
“Between having the ability to be a catch-and-shoot option from deep and being able to beat his opponents off the dribble, Carr could definitely fit in a system alongside Cunningham,” Siegel continued. “Although he is not the same physical defender as Edgecombe, Carr’s offensive game will allow him to see the court off the bench during his rookie year. In time, he could wind up making an impact defensively, especially when it comes to disrupting passing lanes with his 7-foot-1 wingspan.”
Siegel would go on to mention that Carr is a prospect that has been gaining buzz and has been “drawing interest” from other teams that are higher in the draft order, like the Dallas Mavericks and the Golden State Warriors. The NBA insider would not be surprised if he “goes earlier than many would expect.”
It remains to be seen who the Pistons will pick when it comes with the No. 21 pick next Tuesday.
