The comparisons you drew were hardly considered the same level of talent as Ayton, Doncic, or Bagley. His point to you was that in the NBA, draft class quality is a very real consideration. We knew last year's draft was the best PG class maybe ever. This year's has 3-5 prospects that would have been top 2 picks last year. Your point is fair in that there is risk with any prospect, while someone like Kawhi has already demonstrated himself to be a superstar.
That said, I would trade pick it I felt any kind of positive about the ability to sign Kawhi and his health prospects were solid. I just don't think both of those considerations will come back positive.
