2021 NBA Draft results
The 2021 NBA Draft is in the books. As expected, the Detroit Pistons got the busy night started by selecting Cade Cunningham, the do-it-all guard out of Oklahoma State. He had been the presumptive top pick ever since Detroit won the Draft Lottery last month and got the No. 1 pick for the third time in franchise history.
Rounding out the rest of the top five were Houston picking G League star Jalen Green at No. 2, Cleveland going with USC’s Evan Mobley at No. 3, and the Raptors, in a surprise, taking Florida State’s Scottie Barnes at No. 4 before Orlando grabbed Gonzaga’s Jalen Suggs at No. 5
