So, in retrospect, this article should have been written as a thank you note from Denver.

AMEN!

No doubt about that however if the pistons were to have selected Carmelo do you think that would of hindered their chances of winning a championship that year? Maybe Darko is a great practice player who helped their other big men become better players that year. Teams need practice bitches too for their starters to slap around. Basketball is all about chemistry, I’m pretty sure the Pistons wouldn’t have changed a single thing that season looking back.

question is if the pistons had to do it all over again, would they even consider picking carmelo over wade or bosh?

@Diego
The unwritten rule in the NBA is, draft size. Cause you cant teach height. Bogut, is a solid player when not hurt. a legit 15-9 type guy. Do you want MORE from a #1 overall pick, SURE!!! But he’s not a bust. He’s a talented big, with a sorry cast (minus Redd). CP3 was TRULY the only PG at the time, that was suppose to turn heads. The Jazz where BLASTED for taking Deron over CP3 when it happen.

Unless he wins a championship first before CP3 or Deron, Marvin Williams will always be considered a damn bust.

@ fan, post 4. Darko pick much worse than Hawks pick of Marvin Williams–the Hawks starting small forward last year and for the next 4+ years. Marvin was everyone’s consensus pick–except for a few of you fortune tellers out there.

Only thing I really blame Hawks for in this regard is, because of their situation then, regardless of whether Marvin was deemed better consensus pick, Hawks at that time already were loaded with small forwards (not at all so much now), including J-Chill and Harrington, but really needed a point guard. They should have gone for need that year, regardless of how everyone was singing Marvin’s praises.

(I imagine you probably were rooting for the Hawks to pick Conley over Horford too–as most of the numb nuts in Atlanta were?)

Why doesn’t anyone pick on Milwaukee as much for taking Bogut no. 1 that year?

Come on now, Melo wouldn’t have hurt the Pistons at all. In all honesty it was a dumb move to pick Darko, that decision screwed Detroit’s future up. Not immediate future because of all the ECFs but you can’t deny that if they had kept Billups, still have RIP and Prince along with Melo, they wouldn’t still be sick?

I think ALOT of people forget that, Larry Brown had a LOT to do with Darko not panning out. Larry Brown is the same guy who took Team USA to Bronze, cause it was filled with rookies (melo, wade, bron) and didnt play them much. He is a rookie killa…I doubt Melo woulda sucked playing under Brown, but i dont think he would be where he is today had he. (take that for good or bad)
