Yea but to those of us who weren't following mock drafts we knew that Melo was the best player in college who led his team to a championship as a freshmen


they had a huge hype machine behind darko.
plus, the PF was Detroit's weakest position at the time, before they traded for Rasheed.

I knew he was gonna be a bust tho, just by looking at his weak ass highlights.

people forget how amazing melo was actually.

wade was always a tad bit overrated.
Wade is a full tier above Melo all time. Not even close.

Wade in his prime was an A+ unquestionable MVP candidate and probably should have won it that one year. Melo at his absolute best (I guess that 2nd place MVP season on the Knicks) is a B+.

Wade has 3 rings in Miami. Melo has a 54 win season on the knicks that is highlighted on Wikipedia.

Melo would have been a better fit on that Pistons team than Wade. They needed a legit #1 scorer who could play with his back to the back but score from the perimeter. Melo was that. Sucks for Melo.

Melo wouldn’t have been a better fit, yeah he was a better shooter but this was still the early 00’s teams weren’t shooting 40 3’s a game
Bringing in wade gives them another ball handler/playmaker taking pressure off Chauncey
Wade was versatile enough to play the 1 and 2
And even had the strength to guard 3’s
Not to mention he would make their defense even better
And they’d have a true superstar who can lead after the team startes to age and decline
