If Dunn, Missi, or another defensive prospect drops to the late first round. It would rightfully be a mark against the front office. I'd have more faith in a young prospect with limited experience improving than a fully tenured college player. Our front office values veteran leadership way too much compared to talent, youth, and potential.
It would already be a miss despite the fact that we don't know how anyone is going to perform?
Yes because potential has value. A player that's already been on 3 teams since he's been drafted has marks against his value. Hypothetically, if we drafted Dunn and he showed out for half a season as a useful rotation piece, let's say 7-9th man in a rotation. His value would exceed that of Ochai.

Lmao man people have been saying this **** for a decade dating back to when we took Delon, Norm, and Siakam. When will we learn that the age of the prospect is not the most important thing?
Age doesn't matter but the fact Ainge traded Ochai for pick flexibility means he doesn't think he'll pan out. Ainge isn't a bad talent evaluator and he wouldn't want Ochai breaking out on our team. He made a very calculated trade fully knowing that Ochai would not pan out. In terms of the 28th pick out performing Ochai? I would say it's a very high liklihood of happening especially if you go for a 'safe' or high floor pick.
