I think that Detroit made the mistake of using THEORY as their dominant criteria for making the choice. THEORY as in talent, skill and productivity To Be Determined. While Melo showed the world that his potential is great and only partially exposed in the NCAA...what did Melo do in Europe? Dominated? Well so do most NBA rejects. My point is that Melo would have helped the Pistons lead the EAST in record and overall ratings.
I dont think it was a great idea to build on the future..soon Ben and crew will be gone/finished and Darko? will remain.
