Through out his years of drafting for every Luka, Dirk, Josh Howard, ect there would be fifteen Justin Andersons, Moe Agers, Nick Fezekas, Jarred Cunningham, Shane Larkins, Shane Fosters, Nick Calathas, Amand Nevins.
Its always been too feast or famine with Donnie. Donnie is like the baseball player known to be a homerun hitter but his batting like .200 when it comes to hitting.
Not any different for any other franchise and most of the time Donnie only had late 1sts or 2nds to work with.
Example Celtics:
Post KG-Pierce trade they had 16 1st round and 12 2nd round picks. They nailed the lottery picks Smart, Tatum and Brown. Added two more solid players in the 1st round (Williams, Rozier). Semi Ojeleye and Abdel Nader are the only 2nd round picks that are still in the league and both are more or less garbage time players.
