AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - Twenty-four years ago, Jack McCloskey furrowed the brow of Pistons owner William Davidson when with the 18th pick in the NBA draft that June – and local hero Sam Vincent of Michigan State still on the board – Trader Jack announced in the Pistons’ war room that the pick was some obscure guard out of a school that had zero name recognition.
History will record that McCloskey did the right thing in passing on Vincent in favor of McNeese State’s Joe Dumars, who went on to a Hall of Fame career and today sits in McCloskey’s old seat.
Now Dumars might be faced with a similar decision on June 25. Armed with the 15th pick in a draft rich in point guards, Dumars might find himself choosing between such big-school stars as Ty Lawson of national champion North Carolina, Jrue Holiday of UCLA, Jonny Flynn of Syracuse … and Eric Maynor of Virginia Commonwealth.
