Next NBA dynasty?; Ranking the 5 best young cores

5. Detroit Pistons

Few teams around the NBA have stacked a young group of guards quite like the Pistons have over the past three drafts. Starting back in 2021 after landing Cade Cunningham, Detroit finally secured the kind of player it could build a franchise around. While Cunningham still has to get back on the floor at a more consistent rate, the organization has quickly gained a plethora of standout young pieces, dating back to its last two picks of Ausar Thompson and Jaden Ivey. Add in the additions of Jalen Duren and flyers on Marvin Bagley III and James Wiseman and you can see the vision that the front office is looking to create.
