<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetsDaily)</div><div class='quotemain'>Chris Douglas-Roberts grew up in Detroit, went to the legendary Cass Tech HS before heading south to Memphis. Some in Detroit thought he was Rip Hamilton II, but he declined to work out for the Pistons. Now, local writers are calling him out. They blame his selection at #40 by the Nets on his ego and refusal to work out for mid-first round clubs … although he did work out for the Nets. This sounds like locker material.</div> Blowing off workouts, not a good idea - A. Sherrod Blakely - Booth Newspapers CDR Did NOT Want to Be a Piston - Matt Dery - WDFN Chris Douglas-Roberts likely had no interest in playing for the Pistons - Justin Rogers - Booth Newspapers All the more power to CDR for blowing off Detroit. That helped him drop to us Screw Detroit, the Nets will be better than them next season anyways.
