Prepare for the Worst

The Thriller

The Thriller

Well-Known Member
I dunno guys, but I'm just getting the vibe that this draft is going to be very anti-climatic for us.... Look for no additional picks in the first round... Expect us to stand pat @ the #9 to pick up Aldrich, Babbit, or Henry.

Anyone else getting this sinking feeling? :(
 
I agree but the build up has been coming for awhile so a let down shouldn't be a surprise, oh and I would be happy if the Jazz took Henry.
 
Well, the Jazz already cancelled the preview of the new floor. Maybe they feared a riot would break out after JOC announces the selection of Cole Aldrich.
 
This is three years of standing pat coming to an end with this pick. I feel this pick and this off season will tell us a lot about our future. There are a lot of opportunities right now I hope we take advantage of something. If all we do this off season is draft some one at 9 like aldrich and let booze walk I will be very upset.
 
I would be happy with Henry at 9. But Yeah I have a feeling that this is going to be very anticlimatic.
 
Agree. Just don't get the feeling we're shaking the bushes as much as others .. looking for more opportunities. I'm not high on Babbit, not high on Hayward, not real high on George. Would be kinda happy with Henry, Davis, Patterson, Udoh, Aldrich .. in order. Wish a move up for Big Cuz coulda worked ..

Henry will be very good.
 
If the Jazz could some how buy a pick I would be ecstatic with Henry and Patterson, but the picks being sold aren't really in the range to get both.
 
The Celtics pick at 17 could get Patterson or Henry. I have seen them both in that range in the mock drafts.

What is the bad part about this? Do we get worse or something? Why do people always expect some miracle and then act bummed out if it doesnt happen? Your scenario is what, realistically, should happen. We have the 9th pick in the lotto. If, somehow, it goes better than this, awesome.

Anyone of those players will make the Jazz a better team, I think, except maybe for... Babbit. I'm not sure if he's for real. I'm not sure if a Mike Dunleavy-type helps the Jazz more than Miles or AK.

Tomic/Okur/Fess
Millsap/somebody
AK/Miles
Henry or George/Matthews
D.Will

That isn't a bad team in a couple of years. Could make the WCF.

Indiana really wants to get out of the #10 pick...i'm starting wonder if we should think the same

Bad? How is this good?

The Jazz can essentially get the same player @ #19 as #9. And it appears that teams are willing to unload their draft picks. Why not get more players? Is that a bad thing?

Furthermore, Aldrich, Babbit, or Henry alone doesn't offset the potential loses of Boozer and Korver this offseason. We're supposed to be getting better not worse.

Based upon what? How would any of us know how hard we are shaking the bushes?

My guess is that this time of year every single GM and their staff are working 24/7 trying to improve their team, including us. Moving up in the draft is tough to do
 
I love draft night. I'm just going to enjoy the night and give whomever the Jazz draft a shot this year before I start complaining. I won't start judging them until summer league(we are playing this year, right?).
