I think about this sometimes, Pistons selecting Darko over Melo in the 2003 NBA Draft, was a monumental blunder by Dumars. Not only would have it extended the Pistons window dramatically, we would think of Melo in a totally different light today.
I understand the 2003 Draft was one of the most stacked drafts of all time and the Pistons could have went literally in any other direction in the Top 5 and had a different situation today, but at the time, the cry was about Detroit going Melo at 2.
