Over the last 10 years this front office has not managed to draft a single consistent NBA starting level player in the first round.

They struck gold with Nembhard in the second round of 2022.

Mathurin is their best outcome and he looks to top out as a good sixth-man on a good team.

However this includes TJ Leaf and Chris Duarte who were spectacular whiffs. I also have my eye on Walker to be added to the whiff list, but will not count him there…..yet.

Is there another franchise who hasn’t successfully drafted a starter in the first round in a decade?

None of these players were considered big reaches at the time per the usual mock draft aggregates, but a multi-billion dollar franchise is supposed to have a scouting department with more access than national aggregators.
