 These players are talented, but will not get nearly enough playing time on their respective teams.

Enes Kanter- Jazz have Al Jefferson and Derrick Favors leaving very limited time for the third pick in last years draft. Averaged 12.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per 36 minutes.

Larry Sanders- Milwaukee has Sam Dalembert, Ekpe Udoh, and now John Henson. Though he fouls too much, he averaged 1.5 blocks in just 12 minutes per game last year. 

Josh Selby- Showed off his scoring this summer, but will not get on the floor with Conley, Wroten, and Bayless on the team. 

Cole Aldrich- Hasn’t done much in the NBA yet, but he is still 23 years old, and played well in limited minutes last year. Still, he will see no time on the court with Ibaka, Perkins, and Nazr on the team.

Eric Bledsoe- Very quick guard who has been playing well in the preseason, but won’t get too many minutes with Chris Paul at the helm, and Chauncey Billups coming back.

 Some of the guys you listed are busts, sanders thinks he a face up forward and tries to do dribble pull ups plus he jumps at any pumpfake or move you do, have you seen aldrich play this preseason and summer league? It’s been atrocious he was a waste of the 11th pick

[JordoParticipant]

 Tyreke Evans

 Sanders sucks, Bledsoe can learn under one of the best in the game, and summer league doesn’t mean much  and wroten won’t get more min than selby  anyway. I agree with kanter but I see him playing bigger mins this year and Utah should try to ship al Jeff out.

Austin Daye….Thinks he a guard…fouls too much and seems to always seem to argue with the refs or his teammates…def. doesnt fit in detroits system

[FORGETABOUTITParticipant]

Daye isnt on a wrong team hes just not very good..

[Malik-UniversalParticipant]

 ^ thats true FORGETABOUT-IT

daye has had chance after chance to prove this 15th selection…. hes come up short nearly every time… i knew dumars didnt make the right choice by picking him

[DunksNJordans23Participant]

 Carlos Boozer….should be a back-up on my dad’s work team

But seriously

Derrick Williams and Alec Burks come to mind.

I would have loved to see Burks fall to the Suns in that draft so he could have played with Nash and flourish in that offense.

Derrick Williams on the other hand I would like to see him on a team that is kind of grabage so that he would be "The Guy"

[LipstickParticipant]

Nazr isn’t even on OKC anymore. If Aldrich can’t win PT over Thabeet, then he deserves to go unsigned and playing overseas.

Insert Sacramento Kings roster.

Kanter/Favors, one of them could go (or Millsap)

Rudy Gay – Memphis needs a wing that can hit the 3 and willingly get it in to ZBO and Gasol.

Lamar Odom (or at least he always thinks he’s on the wrong team)

Batum (see Odom)

I think DeJuan Blair is on the wrong team…he doesn’t get enough minutes for how valuable he is…a different team could plug him into a Glen Davis-type role and he coul excel

[benny15Participant]

 Man, I would love to see DeJuan Blair with the Bobcats. He’ll instantly be their best bigman and will fit what they’re trying to build with blue collar type players. his game would also mesh well beside Mullens or Haywood since he can do the dirty work for Byron or be the better post scorer next to Brendan. he could play the same role they projected for Kris Humphries who they chased in the off-season. 

I’ve also been playing with the idea of Tyreke Evans wearing a Magic jersey the past few months. A team with no current identity and looking for a potential new face of the franchise. Evans would be ideal if Nelson is dealt elsewhere playing next to either JJ Redick or Aaron Afflalo in the back-court. I can also see him doing well with either Vucevic or Davis supporting him and playing of him.

"i‘ve also been playing with the idea of Tyreke Evans wearing a Magic jersey the past few months."

interesting. i wonder what good deal can be worked out between kings & magic

[Mr. 19134Participant]

Great topic because so many GM’s pickup talent over fit and both the player and team suffer because of it.  I.E. since 2010 both Evan Turner and Iggy looked like they were on the wrong team both being cast into roles that didn’t fit their skill set like Iggy being the go to scorer and Turner playing off ball.  Now a year later Iggy fits Denver like a glove and Evan Turner is about to rip that bust label down and start a fastbreak with it.

Derrick Williams comes immediatly to mind and even though Mike Beasley is gone he still don’t make sense for that team.  How David Khan is still employed is beyond me because he’s botched every single pick except Rubio which was a no brainer.  His best draft descicion was trading the 18th pick for Chase Budinger which will turn out to be a steal.  Imagine Kevin Love and Enes Kanter playing side by side in the post, and yes I was imagining before the draft while people were still debating whether or not Kanter was any good because I just never saw Williams fitting in.

Tyreke Evans needs to leave Sac Town.  A trade scenario involving the Magic is interesting because the Magic have a few pieces that could help the Kings.  Afflalo, Hedo, Ayon, Harrington, and Nicholson could all be extremely serviceable to the Kings.  I think Nik Vucevic’s game too would be a great compliment to Cousins.  This is why I was hoping that the Magic were able to steal Wroten in the draft.

Eric Bledsoe is actually in a great situation because he’s not entirely ready to run a team full time and provides an amazing boost off the bench to either guard position.  Plus Paul isn’t guaranteed to stay and Billups is old and injury ridden.

Marvin Williams I still think is on the wrong team.  I’d love to see him on a team like the Cavs or Bobcats where he would be forced to become a more aggresive scorer.

Thad Young is a deadly weapon off the bench for the Sixers as a combo forward but that role is starting to stunt his growth as a player.  Thad Young should be a starter averaging 17ppg by now.

Anybody on the Rockets who isn’t a combo forward seems to be out of place in Houston.
