Really?? In 5 years, we may not have Vuc, Harris, or VO no matter who we draft. I'd worry about the next 2 years.
At #4, I don't think we are getting any player that is going to make a significant difference over another player in the amount of games we win. I'm talking 7+ win difference over another draft pick.
I think if we are going to make a huge leap, it has to come from Harris. He is the closest thing to a legit scorer we'll have the next 2 years. Who ever we draft, will be support players for Harris,AA/VO, Vuc offensively along with Harkless & O'Quinn over that time.

I can agree with that, but who ever we draft is going to be young! Just like it took Conley 4 years to "get it".
I'm just saying our best chance for improvement "right now" comes from the players we have, and Harris is the #1 candidate for that. Exum or Vonleh won't be the answer right away. I look at what Trey Burke and Mason Plumlee did for their teams as the bench marks of what we'll get from Exum/Vonleh next year.
oh yeah i definitely understand that, although isn't it a forgone conclusion that we're probably not going to be contenders again for probably another 3-4 seasons? I don't think anyone thinks we're going to compete in year 2 of the rebuild, we got a window to develop these young guys while we give more responsibilities and focus to Harris, VO and Vucci Mane.
