Let's put it this way - we don't have any lottery picks, our own or otherwise, for the next four years. I was pointing out that those several other teams at the top of the standings were built on multiple lottery picks.

If Flagg is as good as we think he’ll be, we wouldn’t have a lottery pick in those years anyway. So, the lack of control over our own pick is less significant. Year 3 Flagg might be Top-5 in the NBA already. Hit on this FRP (OR BOTH) and I don’t think it really matters all that much (that we don’t control our own pick).
