I dunno, even his Darko pick had a good reason---he just didn't pan out right. Maybe it was all on Flip in Joe D's eyes.

Hardin and Walker on board, still time to make it up Joe!

Personally, that's what i believed after i heard the presser. Not all but i'd say about 75-80% in Joe's mind.

Re: Walter Sharpe is the 1st pick---DJW traded

Rodman had asthma and wasn't considered an absolute stud either, flying under most team's radars. He ended up being the best pound for pound rebounder in NBA history, and a DPOY.

I don't know this dude, but I would guess that he is no Serbian Gangster. He might be a domestic gangster. lol

He had 2 days of workouts for the Pistons and from what I have read in the last 10 min or so is he was a workout stud. Maybe this is the kind of move we needed. We dont have to pay for a first round contract and get good talent who knows.

Playing waiting game- al.com


From draftexpress
-Walter Sharpe may be a surprising name called on draft night, after conducting strong workouts with teams like Cleveland, Denver, New Jersey, Washington and Charlotte, and showing surprisingly well there. Sharpe, a very highly touted member of the 2004 high school class, only played in 12 games this season before being ruled academically ineligible at UAB. He was later diagnosed with Narcolepsy (a sleeping disorder), but has numerous other red flags on his resume, including being kicked out of Mississippi State for breaking team rules, being shot in the stomach, and then later being arrested for disorderly conduct—all separate incidents.

Some team may regardless decide to take a chance on Sharpe due to his terrific combination of size, athleticism and skill playing both inside and out. One NBA Assistant General Manager told DraftExpress that he thinks Sharpe is a first round caliber talent who may not get to the middle of the second round due to the increasing buzz around him. He still has workouts to conduct with Utah, Detroit and the LA Lakers.
