Saw this as a call back to 2003 on nbadraft.net

Maybe not quite a pass for Dumars, but a look back (and nod to current day) of how it really is a crap shoot as far as drafting young international bigs. Some work, some don't...it's just hard to know.
I always personally gave Joe D a pass for Darko. I wanted him too. I thought Carmelo was a soft, me-me-me player, I didn't think D-Wade would EVER show this type of talent, and I thought it was kind of a toss up between Bosh and Darko...same player as I saw it.
Jesus fuck. I think I just got super depressed writing that.
