Six examples off the top of my head in the last two years alone but keep being mad at facts.Wow, two examples of your theory working the last 5 years versus dozens where it didn't. Well, I'm convinced.
We just have to cross our fingers and hope for an unlikely dumpster fire a la Pelicans or Sixers(who will make the playoffs this year, so I'm not sure what kind of an example this is) and maybe, maybe we'll get a coveted #8 pick so we can select another Cody or Taylor with it.
