To me if you are a big who can rebound, defend and has the footspeed to switch on guards you take him even if his offense is limited to only dunks.
if you are going for a forward or a guard there are a lot of variables that come into play. Athletic ability without scoring doesn’t cut it. We already have Green. Shooting ability without playing defense doesn’t cut it since a big part of building around Luka has to be similar to what GS has done with Curry which is to help him as much as you can.
Given this and also given that bigs who can switch and defend are not easy to find in FA, I would use the draft pick to target that specific need. I understand that might cause you to miss out on a Poole or a White but so be it. The only exception to this would be if they absolutely believe the guard or forward they are picking can develop into a very good two way player like Butler did. However again defense and athleticism have to come first.
