2004: Devin Harris, Pavel Podkolzine, Luis Flores
2005: No picks
2006: Mo Ager
2007: Nick Fazekas, Renaldas Seibutis, Reshawn Terry
2008: Shan Foster
2009: Roddy B, Nick Calathes, Ahmad Nivins
2010: Dominique Jones
2011: Traded away both draft picks for rights to Petteri Koponen
2012: Jared Cunningham, Bernard James, Jae Crowder
2013: Shane Larkin, Ricky Ledo
2014: No picks
2015: Justin Anderson, Satnam Singh

Twelve years of drafting, and your highlight, other than Harris, and a too-soon-to-tell Anderson, is Jae Crowder. I believe Larkin is the only other guy on the list who is even on an NBA roster.

My confidence in the ability of this FO to rebuild through the draft is not high.

Listing a bunch of draft picks is trash, particularly without ANY context. Is a team a bad drafting team if it drafts a bust at 58 in an awful draft? A team shouldn't be judged only on a list of picks. We traded away a LOT of picks and they certainly deserve flack for that but making a list like that is awful. Compare their record at where they were drafting and you get at least an average drafting team.
