Few players who have come and gone from the Detroit Pistons’ roster over the last few years have generated as much discussion and disagreement as Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. On the NBA’s draft night in 2013, then-President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars selected KCP out of the University of Georgia with the eighth overall pick. On most draft nights, it would have been considered a widely acceptable pick, as Caldwell-Pope was projected to go in the top 10 regardless.

Dumars made that pick with hometown hero Trey Burke of Michigan still available.
