The Detroit Pistons will not have a first-round pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. On this episode of "Current Sports with Al Martin," Al invites DeShaun Tate to the show. Tate, a college basketball writer and host for CBS Radio in Atlanta, gives his opinions on the way the NBA Draft Lottery shook out, and how certain teams will fare based on their newly-secured picks. Al also plays an encore presentation of his interview with Mike Pesca from Thursday's show centered on the greatest "what-ifs" in sports history and closes out the week with Reflection Friday.
