i dont know these palauers
I dont think it is a valid argument to use these late 1st round and 2nd round picks and compare them to the entire set of other draftees that came after to draw a conclusion about whether at that moment, in that situation, with that information, the pick was mismanaged.
Lets use Danny Ainge of Boston Celtics as an illustration.
2016 Ainge picked Ante Zizic at 23 while players such as rookie of the year Michael Brongdon were available
2015 Ainge picked R.J.Hunter at 28 while players such as Montrezz Harell who just averaged 11/4/1 on 63% shooting in 17mpg were available .
2014 Ainge picked James Young at 17 while players such as Clint Capela, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Nikola Jokic, Garry Harris were available.
2013 Ainge selected Lucas Nogueira (traded for 13 Kelly Olynik) when a players such as Rudy Gobert were available.
2012 Ainge selected Fab Melo at 23 when a players such as Draymond Green were available.
2011 Ainge selected Marshon Brooks at 25 and traded for Jujan Johnson when players such as Jimmy Buttler were available.
