Worst Case Scenario draft

Post #1 » by **revprodeji** » Wed Apr 8, 2009 3:41 pm

Most of us will complain no matter what happens on the draft. But, using DX current mock, who could we pick (*realistic) that would be the worst-case scenario for you?

Warren, Curry, Teague. There are a lot of questions about most of the people in the top ten other then Griffin and Rubio (if he comes out).

I like Evans, Harden (despite recent performance), Clark or even Lawson.

Assuming it goes the way DX says it will with the picks before ours, and the realistic options are there at our pick, my worst case is...

#5 - Brandon Jennings
#18 - DeJuan Blair (Although under certain extreme, unlikely circumstances, I wouldn't mind him.)
#27 - Tyler Hansbrough (He goes the pick before us, but it's such a crap shoot, that it's possible.)

I'd literally cry and take up cricket as a new favorite sport.

I think it all depends on who's available to how "bad" it will be. For example, James Harden is available with our pick and we take Curry, Warren, Henderson etc. ahead of him.

Worst Draft
Gerald Henderson
DeJuan Blair
Sam Young

I actually wouldn't mind Psycho T if we didn't already have 900 PF's. He seems like a more athletic Mark Madsen who can actually shoot and score and handle the ball and such.

just don't spend the first pick on on a 6'3 SG or Jennings and don't sell draft picks and I'll probably be okay

to pick 3 guys I really have no interest in, suppose they go Derozan/Brackins/Danny Green, thats pretty boring draft to me, but at least I can say that they got more athletic at the 2/3 and a bigman who's supposed to have some potential and assume they watched these guys a lot more than I did and hope for the best.

But if they take Jennings or Warren when they don't address size or defense then I'm going to really wonder where their heads are at and I'll be very skeptical. If they insist on a PG, take Lawson.

but if you're talking about late 1st and want a big man in the draft, there's really nobody close to Hansbrough at that point. Better to take him and make a PF play center than to reach for somebody with no business going that high

Worst case with our pick: 1. Lawson 2. Curry 3. Warren (between #6-15 in players picked)
Worst case with Miami's pick: 1. Patterson 2. Budinger 3. Johnson (between #16-25 players picked)
Worst case with Bos pick: 1. Hansbrough 2. Ellington (between #26-35)

I actually think Ellington would be a very good pick with the Boston pick, but otherwise agree on everything else.

I have to agree with this one. I would be surprised if the Wolves didn't end up with one Tarheel. The only one I don't want is Hansbrough. During one of the games recently Tom or Pete mentioned that the Wolves roster has the most NCAA tourney experience in the NBA.

I'd love Ed Davis/Ty Lawson, but not at #5.

I wouldn't mind Ellington at the Boston pick, as long as we solved other issues, like center and point, earlier in the draft.

I'm becoming a bucks fan if the I ever see that annoying torso named Hansbrough in a wolves uniform.

me too, but of all the reaches in the 5-10 area, Lawson is the most palatable. I don't see how he's not going to be a good NBA player.

Thabeet, Mullins, Hansbrough. Wolves can't afford to draft a post player this year, worst case scenario would be drafting 3.

I think we can draft a center, probably not with the our first pick though. We're too desperate for talent to just write off 40% of prospects because of the position they play.

deeney0 · Post #15 » by **deeney0** » Wed Apr 8, 2009 6:03 pm

Yeah, I am less concerned about it later on in the draft, but I still can't think of a worse "realistic" scenario than taking three post players. Mullins/Aldrich with the Miami pick is not something I'd be deadset against.

MINNY4LYFE · Post #16 » by **MINNY4LYFE** » Thu Apr 9, 2009 3:32 am

Worst case senario would be maybe Derozan/Lawson/Curry/Teague. Not sure if he'll be gone before our 2nd pick, but I'd take shot at Mullens.

If we dont come out of this draft with Rubio, Evans, Harden, AFA, maybe Thabeet with our pick it will be a disappointment to me.

I like Derozan with the Miami pick if he is there.

This is pretty much my worst draft too. I don't want Henderson because he's basically a role player. Blair is another Craig Smith. I really hope we get lucky in the lottery, but if not, we can draft a lot better than this.

Harden or Warren.

I had a nightmare we drafted Blair.

5. Gerald Henderson
17. Jeff Teague
28. Tyler Hansbrough
