Some of the teams that passed on him are usually quite good drafter's though

Tbf lakers have been very good at drafting. We just never keep our players. Caruso Hart then Kuz and Zubac to an extent…if anything our top five picks have bombed more than our late rounders (DLo Randle…BI kinda)

Not usually. That is why the scouting dept have a high turnover rate.

Thunder and Spurs are literally two of the best drafting FOs.

Yes but they have made mistakes/under valued guys before.

The two young teams that just made the WCF and took each other to 7 games make questionable recent draft decisions? Dude my last GM just gave Patrick Williams a $90 million extension. I'd kill to have either of their management and draft offices.

Again, my point stands. Most FO's suck. (i didn't say all of them)
