Don’t expect much from the Detroit Pistons’ lone selection, 42nd overall, in the June 21 NBA Draft.

History shows the 42nd pick more than likely will play some NBA games but will have minimal impact during a short-lived career.

There are exceptions. Zaza Pachulia has played more than 1,000 NBA games and has a chance to win his second championship with the Golden State Warriors.

More impactful players have been uncovered after 42, like Manu Ginobili, Marc Gasol, Isaiah Thomas, Paul Millsap, Kyle Korver and Goran Dragic.

The Pistons traded their first-round pick, which turned out to be 12th overall, to the Los Angeles Clippers in the Blake Griffin deal.

There is always a chance the Pistons could move up or down in the draft or dump the pick for a future selection.

Here is a look at the how the 42nd overall pick in each of the past 20 drafts has fared in the NBA:
