Your Personal Draft "Misses"

[BrianFromWA]

The answer on that depends on which 12 games Oden plays. If they were playoff games...

...then fo, fo, fo.

I thought Richard Hendrix would be a journeyman at least
Thought bayless would be better I was stoked when we got him
Everyone thought brewer was gonna be good

Thought aminu had a chance to be great

 

[Boise Blazer]

I though Joe Alexander at the very least would be a good spark and hustle guy off the bench.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I thought Joachim Noah would suck ass and I thought Michael Beasley was going to be really, really good.

Im with you on Noah. I thought there was no way he would have success in the NBA

To be honest, I thought the only player worth having in the Chris Paul draft was Bogut. When we missed out on him I didn't really care that we traded down for Martell.

Deron Williams? We had the 3rd pick.

Um, I think he was "Baby Jordan".

6'9" white guy...... just ain't meant to be.

Tyrus Thomas
Stephen Curry

During the tournament, I was down on Aldridge after he got beat up on by Tyrus THomas and Big Baby. I stopped putting a ton of stock into such small sample sizes shortly after.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Deron Williams? We had the 3rd pick.

That's what I'm saying: I didn't predict Paul or Williams being that good. I thought Paul was too small and Williams wasn't really a PG, or athletic enough. I figured at the time that Jack might be almost as good as Williams.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

...so far Will Barton has been a bit of a disappointment. But for a second round pick, I don't think we can complain.

I was in grad. school at USC when he was there. Saw him shopping at the 32nd St. Market. I have a theory that he's mildly autistic, or at least "on the spectrum".

He was already not the next Jordan when he fell to 12th in the draft.

Remember when Dwight Jaynes wanted to trade Clyde for him? Now there is a "MISS"!

Evan Turner is probably my worst miss in recent years. I thought he had the skills of Brandon Roy, and the body.

He's an average NBA player, but not at all worth the #2 pick.

I'm the fool that is still holding out hope for him. Though not on a Brandon Roy level. I still would love to acquire him. In the interest of getting younger, and adding more ball handling, would still try this offseason to swap Wes for him.

I still think he has a future in the league, too, but I really did think he'd be a primary scorer and command double teams. He was decent last season, though, and maybe getting a coach other than Doug Collins will help.

Thought they were going to be great - Bayless/Derrick Williams/DJ Augustin/Joe Alexander/Anthony Randolph/Johny Flynn

Thought were going to be busts - Westbrook/Ty Lawson/Larry Sanders/
