And there is something to be said that a portion of it is luck. Not the whole thing of course, but no one can predict exactly how the temperament, psychology, and work ethic of a player will or will not "take" in the NBA.
More than that, no team will get all order right, and you can miss a player with 1 spot.
For example, Kicks was praying for Curry in 2009, he picked one pick earlier and their next player on board was Hill rather than Derozan, rest is history
Mavs wanted Luka, but their 5th pick choice was WCJ, who is good but not a player to build around. If Kings were competent or Hawks not willing to trade, we would have been rebuilding till 2022 at earliest
