The Detroit Pistons, owners of the No.1 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, lead individual practices with some of the top prospects in the draft pool this week, sources told ESPN.
The Pistons hosted Cade Cunningham for light practice in Detroit on Tuesday, and are expected to bring Jalen Green and Jalen Suggs for private practice in the coming days. The Pistons would like to bring in Evan Mobley, but have yet to schedule a visit, sources said.
Cunningham, the longtime favorite for the best overall selection, has no plans to make any additional visits, sources said, and would be extremely happy to land in Detroit. Green, the No. 2 prospect of the ESPN 100, currently only plans to conduct one additional training: at the training center of the Houston Rockets, owners of the No. 2 pick.
Mobley and Suggs are generally expected to be the next two players off the board, with the No. 3 and No. 4 picks currently held by the Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors.
Scottie Barnes, the No.5 draft pick, was in Tampa to train for the Raptors on Tuesday, a source said.
