Imagine the other teams that had multiple chances to pick him:
BOS - Nesmith at #14, Pritchard at #26 and traded #30 (Bane) for dumping Kanter's contract.
DEN - Nnaji at #22, traded for Hampton at #24.
MIN - Traded #17 for #23 and #28 and drafted Bolmato (TO not picked) and McDaniels (promissing, but not Bane).
DET - Hayes at #7, Stewart at #16 and Bey at #19.
NOP - Lewis at #13 and traded #24 to DEN.
UTA - Drafted Azubuike (TO not picked) at #27.
Not to mention OKC, PHO, WAS and CHI that drafted busts with a much higher pick.
I bet if Detroit had a re-do at #7, they would have taken Tyrese Halliburton instead. Hayes has been a major disappointment to me.
