I'm probably just coming from a different space, but selling it as the team investing in a young guy over time makes sense to me. when you toss out "1st rounder" on a guy, as we've seen in this thread, that carries some expectations for production that just aren't likely, no matter how highly one may think of a 2nd round pick.
I think the team sees it like you're saying, but they have a PR problem when it comes to draft picks, especially if Holiday leaves and 3 1sts ended up getting burned for one playoff appearance.

Ya I think Dell has found a exploit here. Basically if he has a 1st round grade on a guy and he falls to the 2nd round, he takes them.
2nd round contracts are more favorable and have less expectations. Also guys in that range pan out pretty similar to guys drafted 30-35. You could argue that a high 2nd round pick is more valuable than any pick between 15-30.
Also there was a fair amount of expectation that Frank Jackson would go at 21 to OKC. So it's fair to say more than 1 gm had a 1st round grade on Frank Jackson.
It's a good strategy. Take a 1st round guy in the 2nd round. Seems to have panned out with Diallo.
