2 - Darko Milicic. Thank you, Detroit Pistons, for completely dropping the ball on this one. Detroit took Milicic No. 2 in the draft after Lebron James, which on paper looked like he had up-side and potential. After all, he was an international star on the rise. Unfortunately, if you take a look at the third, fourth and fifth that came out of that deep draft class you realize that Detroit shot themselves in the foot because the Nuggets got Carmelo Anthony, the Heat took Dwyane Wade, and the Raptors got Chris Bosh. What should be especially annoying is the fact that the last three years Detroit has been in the NBA finals or the conference finals. And in 2005 they lost the conference finals to Wade and the Heat, who later won the NBA title. That has got to sting a little bit.
