And the fact that those 3 top five picks produced superstars such as Waiters/Thompson/Bennett speak to just how suspect first round picks can be when building a roster. There's absolutely no given that any first round pick the next three years actually enhances your team around LeBron. When you have guys like LeBron and Irving, you leverage the promise of first round picks to bad teams and get back proven vets that can actually help you win in the playoffs. I'd suggest Love is the best alternative in the short term. Maybe something else comes along in the next two years, but a bird in the hand....
