I think nearly all the teams are glad they didn't waste their lottery pick on a "project"

still too early to tell. Look at Indiana with Al Harrington and Bendor. Those two are still growing. T-Mac in his first years. Dude just needs time. This thread will be more relavant in a couple of years.

definitely too early to tell. Projects are projects. If Darko is allowed to develop and is willing to put in the effort, he can be a great player. The key to "projects" is patience. They are drafted on potential and time is needed to unlock that potential. Scrapping a project would be a dumb thing to do.

I wouldn't scrap projects. I just wouldn't draft them with one of the top lottery picks.
