Although I feel like Wiggins showed some signs that he might ultimately prove to be the most successful. I'm not counting Lu since Lu was actually undrafted even though technically he's more successful than either one of them.
Abrines was better than Diallo in my opinion but it's depressing how bad we drafted in the second round. Need to check on others teams to see if this is way under average or not.
I think it’s fair to call Dort a second round pick. I know he was undrafted but after the first round his agent was telling teams not to draft him to get him here.
I just think its a more interesting question without him. He's so leaps and bounds over the nearest competition. Maybe the question is who is the 2nd best player acquired outside the 1st round.
I had forgotten all about Abrines. He really had some nice games here and there before he had his mental breakdown.
Something that occurs to me is our biggest successes are all fairly recent. Including Abrines, literally all the successes have come since Durant left. Which is sort of interesting though maybe not unexpected. Just from memory I feel like we used to trade seconds more frequently in the never ending quest for decent role players in trades.
