Bryce and Omari welcome Ku Khahil, the host of the Locked on Pistons podcast, to the show after Detroit lost a heartbreaker to the Miami Heat on a Bam Adebayo buzzer-beater. Ku shares his takes on Ausar Thompson, Jaden Ivey and the franchise's "Core Four" and debates with the guy whether they can all play together. Then, the guys play a Pistons-centric version of "real or fad" as they try and decide if some of the recent trends can be counted on going forward, or are just an outlier.

Game Theory Podcast's Sam Vecenie joins to help game out next steps for rebuilding Detroit Pistons

As the Detroit Pistons front office continues their search for a head of basketball operations, the guys turn their focus to the upcoming NBA draft. Bryce and Omari share their top 10 big boards, and break down how each may work with the Pistons next season. Would Dalton Knecht be an ideal fit next to Cade Cunningham? Is Reed Sheppard efficient enough to overlook his small stature? Should Donovan Clingan be a top 5 pick? Is Alex Sarr a lock at number 1? The guys answer all of these and more as we prepare for an incredibly important draft this offseason.
