Drive for 25
Check today's Detroit News for a homer assessment of Detroit's last 20 yrs and it stills notes the major failings: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20140625/SPORTS0103/306250007
One of the clues that even this assessment is biased in Detroit's favour is the rating of Kyle Quincey, who was discarded for nothing and reacquired for nothing and out of desperation, at that.
The Detroit drafting myth is one of my biggest peeves b/c it's just such a terrible, overrated myth, on par with the European kids don't have character myth. And, unlike some people around here who offer three word posts to jack up their score and then offer "check my posts" as their answer to questions, I have actually detailed this myth extensively.

Cory Emerton?
Landon Ferraro?
Tom McCollum?
Oh, and for those who say, yeah, but it's their Euro scouting, just check their entire 2001 draft. Superior Euro scouting.
That assessment didn't look that homeristic... then again, they draft in the top-20 only for the second time in the past 20+ years.
