@NateFederman Exactly. There are plenty of terrible picks that were very defensible at the time. I'm talking about the picks that 1) were questioned at the time and 2) turned out terrible like many expected.

While I think Oden>Durant was even worse than Darko>Melo in hindsight, it was at least a little more defensible at the time.

@chopaganda @NateFederman Detroit could have literally made any other pick in that draft and changed the landscape of the NBA
