From the Washington Post comment section, pretty comprehensive summary of Grunfeld's draft record.

Peter John Ramos, Devin Harris (traded immediately), Andray Blatche, Vladimir Veremeenko, Oleksiy Pecherov, Dominic McGuire, Nick Young, Bill Walker, JaVale McGee, Jermaine Taylor, Nemanja Bjelica, Lazar Hayward, Shelvin Mack, Chris Singleton, Kevin Seraphin, Jan Vesely, Tomas Satoransky, and Jordan Clarkson (traded immediately)
People are actually arguing that that isn't that bad of a Draft track record? That's not even limiting it to picking outside the lottery, that's limiting it to picking outside the top 3! Let's go into a more comprehensive breakdown of that list:
Guys who could log big minutes on a contending team: ... (crickets) ... (crickets) ...
Good, solid, productive NBA players who could start on a decent team: Devin Harris (0 career minutes played for the Wizards)
Talented/physically-gifted players with an approach to the game that renders their talent and physical gifts completely useless: Nick Young, JaVale McGee, Andray Blatche
Serviceable Bench Bodies: Shelvin Mack (released by EG well before he got into this grouping), Kevin Seraphin, Jordan Clarkson (0 career minutes played for the Wizards. EG traded him for f---ing flash money for Ted Leonsis)
Guys who do not belong in the National Basketball Association: Peter John Ramos, Vladimir Veremeenko, Oleksiy Pecherov, Dominic McGuire, Bill Walker, Jermaine Taylor, Nemanja Bjelica, Lazar Hayward, Chris Singleton, Jan Vesely, and Tomas Satoransky.
Sorry EG apologists, no amount of gift-wrap can make that list look like anything but an absolute dumpster fire. The best thing he's done outside the top 3 picks of the Draft in more than 10 years of running the team is Kevin Seraphin. There isn't another angle here. It's just bad.
