so while you're correct a vet role player is the safer option,

They're only "Safer" is because they're already guaranteed to be what this majority of draft projects to be as a ceiling.

it's worth the risk of the downside to take the swing to get the potential upside

That "potential upside" is the problem in this draft.

Basically, you want to take as many shots as you possibly can to get a really good player

That's NFL draft philosophy more than NBA draft philosophy.

The comparable NBA draft philosophy is to get as many picks as you can over time, so that when you get lucky and get a top-2/3 pick in an elite class, you get that guy. You don't accumulate picks when you know the draft is weak and then pray

Not as a ceiling, no. The ceiling for the top 5 picks in this draft is absolutely not "role player"

It should be philosophy for small market teams, for sure.

Again, you're incorrectly thinking no top 5 pick in this draft can be any better than just a role player. That's not going to happen. Your starting point is incorrect and thus each take based off of it doesn't work.
