The average pick of the starting roster of the 2013 NBA All-Star is the 5th pick overall. The average pick of the backups is the 10th pick overall.
There's not a single individual drafted outside the 1st round in the 2013 All-Star roster.
You do realize that you're not really addressing my point, much less refuting it, right?
BTW, OKC did catch lightning in a bottle. So? That doesn't mean their "model" works for everybody. Plus, imo, they very well may have gone as far as they're going to go.
ETA: The only relevant issue is the value to the Pelicans of A) Holiday (and, I would argue, Evans, because he signed because of the moves the Pelicans were making) vs, B) an injured, unproven skinny kid with limited experience at Kentucky plus an unknown draft pick outside of the top five next year. Bird in the hand, brah.

You're saying the NBA Draft is far from a sure thing. I'm saying to get a superstar in the NBA Draft, it's statistically inarguable that you have to draft extremely high.
Can there be lottery picks who don't succeed? Absolutely. However, name me the last player with as much hype and as much of a surething as this upcoming draft to fail.
I'd argue it's probably Oden, and he's simply been injury prone.
