Is it really that wild to assume drafting a once-in-a-generation player will give us an excellent chance to become title contenders, whereas with the 4th pick it will not?

I think it's time to change your name to Tremendous Downside
It is really wild to assume that prospect is a once-in-a-generation player and that the guy drafted fourth can't provide an excellent chance to become a title contender... yes.
You know this debate you're having with everyone could've gone a whole lot smoother if you led with the fact that you disagree with basically all of the scouts and experts.
He's definitely a glass half empty kind of guy.
He's a "the glass was full of spoiled milk and I spilled that **** all over the carpet" kind of guy.
See for me we already threw away our shot at wemby when we played so good. The wemby ship has already sailed.
I don't see him as an option. Odds are too poor.
If you could guarantee me ninth or better odds in this scenario I make take the chance, but I have basically kinda accepted we won't hit the sweet spot and are just as likely to end 11th. We need to shut Lauri/Walker down more or earlier in the season. 3% chance at Wemby is really meh. 10% chance at top 3 is not great... #4 is more than "just a few spots" lol. There are times when multiple firsts won't move you up 2 spots. Those spots are valuable.

Odds aren’t great but they are there. More unlikely things happens every single day. It’s a dice roll.

10000000% this
Sir… I don’t disagree with all the scouts and experts.
GMs are pretty risk averse… I mean DA and JZ could have cashed out on a bunch of our vets earlier for a smaller price and tripled our shot at Vic… you think he turns down the fourth pick for a 3% shot at Vic?
