This darjo fella must have been the all time bust cause I'm never heard of him!

Note your thread makes no sense, do you understand what in the lottery means?

I was asking what are some of the worst non Top 3 picks

The second paragraph is stating that I wanted to do this because if I said simply bust most of the players were in the top 3 and we always here about the same guys.

I would like to know whose is the worst player drafted by your team that wasnt a lottery pick ( IE top 3 )

In 2001, the Magic took Stephen Hunter and Jeryl Sasser at #15 and #22. Guys they could have taken include Zack Randolph, Brendan Haywood, Gerald Wallace, Samuel Dalembert, Jamaal Tinsley, Tony Parker, Gilbert Arenas, and Mehmet Okur.

Talk about a whiff.

Kings... 2006 Quincy Douby at 19 is pretty memorable. Probably should have picked that Rondo guy.

OP, non-lotto pick means 15 and later, not 4 and later :lol:

Anyway, for my team's worst non-lotto pick: Alexis Ajinca at 20 in 2008 (we traded our 2010 1st to get that pick and Bledsoe, Bradley, or Greivis Vaquez could've been drafted with that pick). 2008 was a wreck. DJ Augustin at 9 was also pretty bad, considering the guys that were drafted behind them.

This list is depressing:

2002, the Warriors picked Jiri Welch (who?) ahead of Tayshaun Prince, Carlos Boozer, Udonas Haslem

Most of GS' biggest draft failures have been in the lottery.

In 2001, the Utah Jazz clearly NEEDED a PG to replace an aging, and soon to retire, John Stockton. When it was finally their turn to pick at 24, no other PG had been selected yet. The Jazz drafted the first PG of the draft named Raul Lopez from Spain. The next 3 PG's taken were Jamal Tinsley at 27, Tony Parker at 28, and Gilbert Arenas at 30.

Jazz had some whiffs with Curtis Borchardt, Luther Wright, Kirk Snyder and Morris Almond.

Worst I can recall off the top of my head is Shawne Williams in 2006.
