I Know the cats have been near the top but, they are like us.
their best players were from later picks or trades
Danger / Cameron / Smith - trade
Stengle - SSP
Stewart - pick #40
Blicavs - alternative talent
Then you have Max Holmes whose looking a player drafted with #20
but the next generation is now also mostly traded in (#originally drafted)
#7 Smith, Bowes #10, Bruhn #12, Henry #17
drafted - Jhye Clark#8 (Suns bonus pick), #19 De Koning, #20 Holmes
Trading out picks for a young player rather than a mystery box. Or in Bowes case, trading in a player plus a first rd pick rather than picking late in the draft.
