I am not so certain. A lot of picks are concentrated on just a couple of teams and I think this is lowering their overall value. What is for OKC or Pelicans to throw 5 picks on the table?
As for Edwards and KAT. They are both young, KAT just entering their prime. KAT a star and Edwards becoming one with a huge potential. Even if one doesn't see them as the cornerstone to build around, they are certainly considered as elite second guys. Both contract controlled for a long time. Gobert haul was outrageous, but Mitchell one wasn't that much lower, and he can certainly be a very similar comparison regarding the value of a star.
