The guy is fairly objective… but the only reason I see the warriors getting a dishonorable mention for O’bryant is that Millsap was overlooked. Then again, almost everybody overlooked him.
re: For the Darko pick, one thing to think about is would the Pistons have won the championship without Darko? Darko rode pine so the real starters could play, Melo would need major minutes. I doubt they would have won with Melo instead of Darko.
bad draft picks should be not be judged on guys not picked… a bunch of teams passed on amare, kobe, nash, chris paul, etc… you could never say what would have happened to a team if roles were reversed… would the lakers have won those championships in 2000-2002 if t-mac was on the team instead of Kobe?.... the bad draft picks are all those gm’s that pick unproven big men like deandre jordan and kwame brown of those that pick soft euros who only shoot jump shots even though there 6-11 (i.e. Bargnani, Nikoloz Tskitishvili, Milicic)

the Darko pick was the worst ever considering what happened after that (Melo, Wade, Bosh, etc) the Darko pick was terrible.

Funny how that stuff works out.
