With Carmelo Anthony retiring and the NBA draft right around the corner, many fans are debating What If’s in regards to draft busts, specifically for the Detroit Pistons.
Earlier last month, probable future Hall of Famer Carmelo Anthony announced his retirement after 19 years. With Anthony hanging it up, that leaves just LeBron James from the heralded, and, for Detroiters, infamous 2003 draft class. As most NBA fans know, with the second overall pick, the Detroit Pistons would select Darko Milicic over the likes of other Hall of Fame players Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and Carmelo Anthony; even if Carmelo was promised by the Pistons front office they were going to draft him.
