We drafted a project center last year at #8 and he showed flashes, which is about all anyone expected...and now we want to draft the same position this year when we have a clear need for a big wing?
I don't get that.
There are plenty of minutes to go around. It's not like Jaxson Hayes is about to play 36 minutes per game. Even if we go best case scenario where Hayes works out and Smith works out, between Hayes/Zion/Smith there are plenty enough minutes for the 3 players to play in some rotation together.

Teams use tiers. They have their guys they target/favor, but it is not just going down the big board and taking the top name.
I doubt Smith ends up in a tier above the other prospects available at 13. I think the FO knows we need to develop wing players and would use position/versatility/need as a differentiating factor within a tier.
