But isn't that partly out of necessity? Would other teams have played Sacre a bit in his first half season, and then cut him in favour of any semi-useful veteran? A team like with LA's salary structure had no choice but to play those second-rounders until they turned into something. I also wonder if a team like LA is going in with a different strategy, thinking, "we just need to find a guy who's definitely going to be a semi-useful bench player", and not thinking about finding the diamond in the rough that's going to turn into a star. Where as some teams are using second-rounders to go after probable-bust-but-maybe-high-ceiling guys, because if they draft a bust, they have the salary flexibility to replace him with another player.

It Won't be Andrew Wiggins. But Could Raptors Land Another Burgeoning Canadian Star?
If Ujiri covets the 19-year-old Ennis, and if Ennis comes out, it's going to take an awful lot of investigating to figure out where in the draft he's likely to go. Ujiri might have to try to move up to get him. Then again, he might be able to trade down.
For the Raptors, and for Canada, this is going to be quite a draft to watch in June.

Maybe Noah Vonleh could slide down to the twenties for absolutely no logical reason then. Starting to like him more than some of his more hyped freshmen, that would be such a great fit at PF next to JV.
Meh, this draft is going to be too fascinating.

Not that the Raptors should lock in on PF. But it's very possible that one of those three PFs are BPA when the Raptors pick.
