intersestingly, by roster construction, GSW & NOP are polar opposites. GSW drafted all four of their most used players by minutes played (curry, green, thompson, barnes)
Ziller on GSW

Over the past five years, the Warriors have overpaid fringe stars, drafted exceptionally well while never picking higher than No. 6, taken huge gambles in trades, free agency and on the sidelines and have generally been impatient with the status quo. And that's gotten them to 57 wins and counting.
You wouldn't use the Warriors' path as a classic case study in NBA Rebuilding 101, because they violated a few of the so-called rules of team creation. They overpaid in a cap-limited salary system. They made hair-trigger decisions in a league where patience is rewarded.
But perhaps that's a problem with so many rebuilds that go awry: the ones that go strictly by the book rarely work. Building an NBA team is more art than science. That may yet be something the analytic-minded Hinkie learns the hard way.
I would amend that last paragraph to "any rebuild rarely works."

True. It really comes down to if you have an exceptional scouting department. I won't say it is luck, but these teams are putting all their stock in whether or not a 19-22 year old will become a star.

You've heard me say it before. Whatever theory a franchise uses, and no matter how smart the FO is, you gotta be lucky.
