I thought with Detroit's changes they would be doing a lot better. With that starting 5 in the shitty east they should be making some noise

Pieces don't mesh together that well, but I largely blame Cheeks for that.

Oh I know lol. I'm a member of team why sign smoove to play only at the 3.

I researched the top 4 picks in every lottery, and of the 84 players chosen in spots 2-4 since 1985, only three of them have won a title with the team that drafted them.  In two cases they were dealt away and then came back later (Sean Elliott was picked #3 by the Spurs in '89, traded to the Pistons in '94, and later got a ring with San Antonio in '99.  Jason Kidd was chosen 2nd overall by the Mavs in '94, then eventually won it all with Dallas two teams and 16 years later).  The third example is Darko Milicic, who played a grand total of 5 minutes as a rookie for Detroit in the 2004 Finals on his way to becoming known as one of the biggest draft busts of all-time.
 
 

Wow. That is pretty crazy to me. Essentially 0 guys drafted from picks 2-4 have led a team to a title during the lottery era.

Same way Iman Shumpert is being hyped up, and how JR Smith was hyped last year

 
Iman Shumpert is way better than Tim Hardaway Jr. at least.

Shump plays phenomenal defense but he's looked lost on offense all year long with like 2 games being the exception.
