2016 with #4 Bender and with #8 Chriss (none in the league!), #34 Ulis (not in the league)
2017 with $4 Jackson (almost out of league), #32 Reed and #54 Peters (both out of league)
2018 with #1 Ayton (good player but one could argue they missed on Luka), absolutely nailed Smith for Bridges trade, #59 King (who is King?)
2019 with #11 Cam Johnson (solid rotation player), #24 Ty Jerome (miss)
2020 with #10 Smith (looks like big miss so far)
So 3 huge misses, 2 solid picks (Ayton, Johnson) and 1 great (Bridges). Rest were bascially all misses, with Smith pending
Who has a better supporting cast, Booker or Luka?
I'll hang up and listen.
