The Detroit Pistons will have a plethora of options when it comes to how the franchise will utilize the fifth-overall selection in Thursday's NBA Draft. While the possibility of a trade down is always there, the more likely scenario is that Detroit will make a selection from a talented crop of collegiate players and lesser-known prospects outside of the NCAA, namely twins Amen and Ausar Thompson of the Overtime Elite. The 20-year-old brothers have received notable flack due to their experience advantage competing against athletes as young as 16 and 17-years-old, but it has become clear that these two were head-and-shoulders above the talent featured. While Amen has caught the eye of scouts more from his elite playmaking and otherworldly athleticism, Ausar is a similarly skilled player who may fit the mold of what the Pistons are building better
