The Detroit Pistons lost their first round pick to the Los Angeles Clippers during the NBA lottery on Tuesday night, thanks to the Blake Griffin trade.  After the pick fell outside the top three and landed back at 12, under conditions of the trade it became the property of the Clippers.  Detroit will receive only a second round pick this summer at No. 42 overall in the 60 player draft.  Phoenix won the number one overall pick.
