From 2007 til now Dumars has done a solid job of identifying talent. Stuckey has flaws but he is an above average player  that still has room to grow. Afflalo has done a great job in Denver especially his ability to knock down threes and play tough D. Austin Daye and Monroe are good pieces that will benefit a rotation plus they still have room to grow as well. #Terrico White: he will not get playing time. Drafting BK all but sealed his fate. He may still have ability but right now he has not shown anything, thus the reason for including him with Sharpe. @MrHappyMushroom: my apologies; sometimes when I convey whats in my head to what I write I forget to include information.

and

“He’s a different type of 18 year old”

Wow, this is great.  Never knew that was actually said about Darko.

But White was hurt in the first couple of minutes of his first game.  Summer League doesn't matter much, but at very least she showed some promise there.  Really, he's no more a score or a bust than Singler or Knight at this point.1 I’m not sure about two things–one, the assumption that Joe has “equated himself well” with identifying the talent.  Cleaves, Darko, Rodney White, and a few others were not good picks.  Tay and Monroe, obviously, were.  A mixed bag.

We couldn't find any suckers to trade draft spots, so we were stuck with Brandon Knight."  If he says that, Pistons fans are demanding his resignation the next day and I'm sure we would see a worse "bitter beer face" from Brandon than the one we saw on draft night.
