As far as prospects go, Darrun Hilliard is intensely uninteresting.
There’s something naturally compelling about having young players on the team. There’s wishcasting their skills and projecting how they might maybe someday hopefully carve out their role in the NBA. At DBB over the past decade, we’ve talked ourselves into a lot of second round, fringe prospects finding their way into the Pistons lineup.
Maybe we should blame guys like Kyle Singler, Jonas Jerebko, and Khris Middleton, who came out of the second round and found success. Second round picks usually fizzle.
Hilliard is a legitimate prospect.
