The Pistons just drafted a narcoleptic, academically suspect, unknown player from a mid-major conference who was arrested less than a year ago. What’s not to love?

Let’s face it: Until his name was announced Thursday night, you didn’t know anything about Walter Sharpe.

I’ll fill you in on a few details: Yes, he really has struggled with narcolepsy. He was academically ineligible last semester, presumably for spelling “Sharp” wrong. And maybe the best sign that he is ready for pro sports is that he already has his first nightclub arrest under his belt.
