Imagine if the Detroit Pistons had drafted Dwyane Wade instead of Darko Milicic.
From an early 2003 article by ESPN's leading cheerleader at the time, Chad Ford:
"More than Nowitzki, Gasol or even Divac, Darko has a nasty streak in him that will help him succeed in the post," a league executive said. "A lot of the Europeans are really threes in the pros. He'll be a true low-post player. His coach is doing us a huge favor by forcing him to develop those skills now. He already has moves that remind me of (Hakeem) Olajuwon in the post. Once we get a hold of him, the sky's the limit."
