Nobody wants to eat a bad sandwich.
I wonder what a bad sandwich is for you guys, though. I have
seen people eat pansit bihon AS A sandwich but I would rather apply cheese on
giniling or add hot sauce on a sandwich instead of ketchup.
Noodles?
A different story.
Food tastes yummy when you put tomato ketchup on it.
Noodles with tomato ketchup.
Eww?
Anyway, bad-tasting sandwiches exist in physical and
metaphysical ways.
For example, bad in-between draft picks.
What?
Who wants to be the crappy filling in between two awesome
talents?
Who wants to be the general manager who passed up on a great
talent… and then narrowly missing on the even bigger talent.
I guess the best example of a bad draft sandwich in the NBA
is Hasheem Thabeet – who was taken in between Blake Griffin and James Harden. I
know the 1984 NBA Draft had Sam Bowie in between Hakeem Olajuwon and Michael
Jordan but I really think Bowie’s bust status is overblown out of proportion.
Bowie enjoyed a productive NBA career as a starter despite his injuries.
Also, if you want to go to the 1984 draft bust route, what
about Mel Turpin who was selected sixth overall? I know, Turpin’s life ended tragically,
but he was selected in between MVP Charles Barkley and defensive powerhouse Alvin
Robertson.
But still, Thabeet takes the cake.
