Thriller started a thread last year about preparing for the worst on draft night
The Thriller said:
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? :(

Told you to prepare for the worst... I didn't think Hayward would be the worst. This is by far worse than what my idea was the worst.

Just wondering what everyones worst case scenario for the 2011 draft would be.....


For me Jan Vesey #3 and Hamilton #12 would leave me with the same hollow & lost feeling that I initially felt with the Hayward pick.
 
I just don't see anything but Kanter or Knight at 3. There will still be plenty of good gambles at 12. I think we draft well ..

Taking Knight @ 3 would kind of give me that underwhelmed feeling. I have little doubt he won't be good or maybe even great, but I don't see home run potential which I think Kanter/Irving/Williams bring.
 
Kemba at 3 would make me a little sick. Then again, who knows how these guys will turn out?
 
Jimmer at #3 and Emery at #12. Then the Jazz announce they've promised a 5 yr/full MLE deal to AK once FA contracts can be signed.

We would need to trade up to 2 to get Jimmer(the GS pick and our own unprotected pick should get it). Jimmer at 2 and Emery at 3....... Blech
 
With Irving available at 3 and Biyombo being available at 12, the Jazz select Kemba Walker and Jimmer Fredette.

Then I commit suicide.
 
That, once again, the guy we draft in the second round turns out to be better than whoever we draft in the first.
 
Ditto Kemba at 3. Additionally Marshon Brooks who has the stereoetypical Jazz bonehead SG reach plastered all over him. Just stick with Heyward, the one we got right. I don't think we are in any danger of drafting Saer Sene part 2 based on our position, but someone will make that mistake.

Well, since we don't have a 2nd-round pick, that means we draft the next Len Bias with the #3 pick and a guy who has a career-ending knee injury at #12?
 
Dear God I hope we don't take Kemba at three. I don't hate the thought of Kemba, but the thought of him over Kanter, Knight, and Valanciunas is enough to make me sick. If we're really set on Kemba, trade back to six or seven.

I've said it numerous times on this board.

If KOC selected Kemba @ #3, I will personally change my user name to KOC_BEGONE_2

.. and probably jump off a building straight after.

Okay, substitute "an undrafted free agent we invite to camp" in place of "the guy we draft in the second round" in my original statement.

I was thinking in terms of picking the next Adam Morrison (Pick #3, 2006) and Aleksandar Radojevic (#12, 1999), but your version works, too.

I'd be a little underwhelmed with Knight too, but he has enough positives that I'll be ok with that pick. I agree with (I think it was Numbricas assessment) that his ceiling is very high and his basement is average, so there's no complete bust potential. I'd still rather have one of the three that's listed though.

Vesley or Valicious (sp), sigh....that would depress me, even as much as I'll try to talk myself into liking the pick.
 
walker or fredette would make me sick, i hope it doesnt happen
