Hehe. This comment earned me an obviously butt hurt AKMVP neg rep

Thread: Which Jazz player was biggest disappointment ever to you?

you have short memory. AK played same or even better for two years after he signed his max deal. His production dropped during 3d year after Sloan and Deron made him irrelevant on Jazz offense. Hardly his fault.

Well, you stated wrong facts - just admit it. You are entitled to your opinion who is most disappointing player, but give other reasons. Say his production went downhill starting 3d year of his max contract ( if you ignore real reasons and want to blame AK only - that's fine as well ) - I would have no problems with that. But when people forget that his stats were great during first two max contract years, that he lead league in blocks after max contract, that he had 5X6 after max contract and was elected to NBA ALL defensive team after max contract it makes me really question if you even remember what happened in 2005-2007.

In retrospect, Luther Wright stands out as a disappointment. However, I was only 9 when Wright was drafted. In terms of who disappointed me the most once I was old enough to know more of what was going on with the team, I'd go with Raul Lopez. It might have been Kirilenko, but I saw him play one season in 2001-02 and a small part of 2002-03 before going on a mission. He had already signed his max contract when I got home, and while I got to see him do very well for a couple of seasons, I never felt that my expectations for him were as high as many other peoples'.

It's hard to be too disappointed in draft picks over 20.

For me, it was Ameachi.

Mark Jackson.

Saying Boozer, Big Al, or DWill is moronic...
The others listed have their place and its opinion I guess, but for me, its simple....
AK hands down

Hmmm, I'd have to say Raul Lopez. We criticize the Jazz for drafting him ahead of Parker, but Lopez was a baller before his knees betrayed him. Can't blame the Jazz for not foreseeing that. Had he been healthy, I think Lopez could have been a more than solid player with potential to be very good.

Agreed. And now that I think about it Jeff Malone was a disappointment. No range on his jumpshot, bad back and slow feet. It was a rough stretch looking for a replacement for Bobby Hansen and the Golden Griff.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Malone part of the package that got us Hornacek in a trade? If true, then God bless Malone, he did more for us than many another Jazzman.
