The Detroit Pistons might not have a pick in the opening round of this year’s draft, but there’s still plenty of reason for optimism in the Motor City. With the addition of Stan Van Gundy as the chief decision-maker for the Pistons, there’s a feeling among fans and analysts around the NBA that the team could be turning back in the right direction.

The 38th pick in this draft might not be the next big step forward, but the Pistons have found some real steals deep in the draft before, and who knows what could happen this time around.

Only time will tell how the 38th pick of the 2014 Draft will fare in the NBA, but in the mean time, let’s take a look at some of the Pistons best draft picks from the past two decades.
