This is actually a interesting what if
What if the Cavs drafted Darko in 2003 and LeBron gets drafted by the Pistons.
Obviously there would be massive civil unrest in Cleveland and Darko would’ve been a bust regardless.
Meanwhile LeBron joins a team that just made the ECF with some great veterans. Now granted Larry Brown won’t start him rightaway which would affect his counting stats but he starts winning rings very early in his career. And I do believe the Pistons still trade for Rasheed.
BSOLZ a YouTuber made a video on something like this.
Darko probably still is a disappointment but not a full bust.
Not burying him on the bench and destroying his last shreds of interest in the game probably develops him into an at least solid player.
I know his work ethic/love for the game were low, but that Detroit team was the worst place to go with those concerns and only made it worse.
