The Udoka pick is the worst in team history

There was a reason that Quin and DL didn't talk for over a year.

I remember thinking “we need a wing so bad” and McDaniels just fell right into our lap, while Bane was on the board too.

I figured it had to be one of those two guys.

Guess the scouting department did too. Not sure what went down or why, but it almost feels like DL decided to sabotage his career and the team. Especially since adding Favors was going to happen and everyone seemingly knew it.

We passed on McDaniels and Bane because DL got too fixated on Eliza Huge, who shot 29% for Blazers last season and is currently out of job.

Remember when the Knicks swindled us in the draft that one year. - Was that the Doke draft? What a dumpster fire

Doke is probably the second worst pick. A hair better than drafting a shot blocking big man from Europe in 2007 when Marc Gasol was still available.

Lakers wouldn't be able to get Pau if they didn't get to draft Marc. Then the Kobe-Odom-Pau trio would never have been formed to take away Sloan's last chance to win the Jazz a championship.

This kills me to revisit the DWill years with dumb decisions... Oof

Trey Lyles over Booker was dumb. We needed a sharpshooter SG bad.

So I’m not saying it’s likely or anything…….. but what if Doke is our starting Center next season, stays healthy and averages 15 & 10?

Still the worst pick in Jazz history?

Fess pick is the "Dok pick" of Dwill/Booz/Sloan era. All we needed was a big man to hang with the Pau/Odom/Bynum trio.

I saw on the interwebs yesterday that Marques Bolden had a huge game for the Indonesian National Team in World Cup Qualifying. He had 32 points, 16 rebounds and 6 blocked shots and was 2-2 from 3. He played for the Stars last year. The guy was a McDonalds All American the same year Dok and Tony Bradley were. He went to Duke and played behind two high first round picks there. Perhaps he might be an insurance center.
