Detroit all but guaranteed itself a top-5 pick. That's still worth doing.
How has three top-5 picks in a row worked out for them?

The majority of the best players in the league are though.
Two are hits. One's possibly a miss. Not bad.
I know, but don't be all doomer like THJ
Right and they’ve won 2 games this year.

I’m not. You can find talent throughout the draft. Tanking yields mixed results but it definitely is a valid strategy to get a talented roster.
The rest of the team is missing.

All roads lead to failure. For every Detroit there is an OKC. Organizationally they have some bigger issues. Troy Weaver needs to go yesterday. They never should have bribed a good coach to come there. Drafting high doesn’t fix everything.
OKC would be in the same situation if they didn’t get SGA from the Clippers. They wouldn’t be as bad at Detroit but they wouldn’t be good.
How far away from making the playoffs are they do you think? Years wise.
At some point you have to have actual talent and players who are good.
