Or is this just traded-in players? Do you agree that Lively's value is the #12 pick, or is the value of recently drafted players equally mystical?I agree with your line of questioning on this particular subject cause it looks like a bit of backtrack without stating so.
However, a specific pick on draft day is a lot more valuable than it would be outside the draft. What I mean to say is picks on draft day are a bit more valuable than the garden variety first outside of knowing the placement. So the Lively, #12 line of questioning is harder to pin down in an outside the draft day scenario. I have a hard time believing other teams would have picked Lively as high as 15, let alone 12 or 10.
