You basically just pointed out exactly what I said in a concise sentence
The guys who put up big numbers are on bad teams. If you are a good team, you can allow your rookie to play a very niche role a la Justice Winslow. It's very rare that you get both.
Point being, if you are gonna take Buddy and get rid of Reke and Gordon, you better hope we land a big FA so Buddy can be a 4th or 5th option, because if he is a 2nd or 3rd, this team won't be good. Same for Dunn. Same for Murray.
For this team to be good, the Pels better add AT LEAST one FA or trade aquisition that is better than the rookie they take

I guess I misunderstood your point. I thought your point (in a vacuum) is we shouldn't have high expectations for our rookie.
But, your argument is we can't expect to be a winning team AND have a valuable rookie. I agree with that point.
I just don't see us making the moves that give us the luxury of a role playing rookie with our pick. I hope I'm wrong.
