Detroit Bad Boys, a Detroit Pistons community

Will this scare off prospective suitors in tonight's draft? Or will it simply be a footnote to the start of his NBA career?

It's nearly impossible to find somebody who doesn't think the Pistons will select Bismack Biyombo in tonight's draft.

Don't believe everything you read, especially when it's coming from anonymous sources.

Just one day after Markieff Morris stole the show in a head to head workout, Tristan Thompson has reportedly moved atop Detroit's draft board.

The hype machine may be driving Bismack Biyombo out of Detroit's reach. Meanwhile, reports say Markieff Morris shined brightest during Tuesday's workout in Auburn Hills, while Tristan Thompson's college numbers rank him as the best big man in the draft.

Despite the fact the Pistons are drafting from the middle of the lottery, history suggests that hidden gems will be available -- even if they take as much luck to discover as they do front-office acumen.

Shortly after watching his team's draft slot fall from seventh to eighth during Tuesday's lottery, Joe Dumars put on an optimistic face while addressing the media.

Entering the NBA Draft lottery on Tuesday night slotted seventh, the Detroit Pistons watched the teams directly above and below them move up, pushing them down to No. 8.

Can the Detroit Pistons move into the top three? Or will they stay at No. 7, where they drafted Greg Monroe last year? We'll find out tonight following the 2011 NBA Draft lottery.
