I usually don't find myself asking this question too many times because 99% of the time he is a genius and makes the right call. But that 1% are the times when Joe D looks more like another Detroit GM (Matt Millen) 
. Like when he drafted Darko Milicic over Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, etc. Well this year's NBA Draft was only one of those 1% moments where I found myself thinking, "Was Matt Millen drafting for the Pistons or was it actually Joe Dumars?
When it rolled around to the Pistons 1st round pick, I found myself very excited. I was hoping somehow someone good would fall to us and we would get lucky. Well my prayers were answered when Chris Douglas-Roberts and DeAndre Jordan were both available at the Pistons pick. I sat there waiting to see which one we would get and would have been happy with either one (CDR more), but instead I hear D.J. White's name called. I thought, "Huh, well I guess he's not that bad, but why didn't we get CDR?" I was upset, but I was willing to live with the White pick.
Then a trade happened; The Pistons traded D.J. White for the SuperSonics two 2nd round picks (32nd and 46th). So then I was thinking, "Well maybe now they are going to draft one of those guys, or maybe even Bill Walker." Any of those 3 would have made me happier than I am right now. They go and select Walter Sharpe from UAB. I almost punched the TV and started to cry. Before I went crazy I decided maybe Joe D knew something about this guy that I didn't. To be honest, I had never heard of him until now. So I looked him up and did some research. When I was done, I about lost it. A guy that bounced around between 3 different colleges, has narcolepsy, got arrested at a nightclub, and was shot. Hmmmm, sounds like a perfect fit for the Pistons doesn't it? The other two picks, Trent Plaisted and Deron Washington were two other forwards. So the Pistons drafted 3 forwards in this draft. I can't say anything about Plaisted since he is another guy I have no clue about, but Washington is almost the same type of player as Sharpe. So why draft him? Just to keep up with how horrible we've been drafting so far?
I was very disappointed with Joe D this year in the draft. After a great year last year in getting Rodney Stuckey and Arron Afflalo, going to such a horrible year this year in getting Walter Sharpe, Trent Plaited, and Deon Washington. It just makes me wonder what Dumas was thinking when he made these picks, or even it was even him at all but instead it was Matt Millen! 
). But to be honest, the USA team will never be like it was in the days of Jordan,
