IF we never traded the draft the picks since 13

2013 - Nerlens Noel - Just signed a minimum contract
or Trey Burke/MCW both are fringe NBA players on their way out of the league.

2014 - Probably the guy we just signed, Elfrid Payton assuming Noel in 2013, or Dario Saric if they had drafted a guard in 2013

2015 - Sam Dekker, who Houston took with our pick seems as likely as anyone

2016 - Buddy

2017 - The win now upper classman position of need pick would have been OG Anunoby, which is who I would have liked

2018 - This year I think I heard someone say the team was interested in Jacob Evans

Of that entire group there isn't a single player as good as Jrue and maybe not a single player as good as Mirotic. Building through the draft isn't just about drafting players, it's about being bad enough for long enough to hit on multiple top 10 picks. But even that is a hit or miss process, no pun intended. For every Philadelphia or OKC success there's an example of build through the draft failures like Sacramento and Orlando.
