By the way, am I the only one that laughed my rear end off when I saw this the first time?  OT?  That's great.  So, if they don't flub the pick, or get hit with excessively bad luck (like a coke overdose, for example), does this put the Pistons in a Final in the next two years?  It strikes me as a distinct possibility, as a proven scorer could be a big part of the puzzle.  Yikes.
