I think most of the time it is not worth it to go for role player skill sets in the lottery. Looking at recent drafts the chances to land a good 3&D player are not depending on the draft position. All about scouting. Every single year we have a few late 1st or 2nd round sleepers. Even some undrafted ones.
Also think that most of them need time to reach their potential. The Bridges brothers, Okogie or DiVincenzo all had mediocre rookie seasons but looked a lot better this year.
Just look at the top 3&D wings from last years class. Culver, Hunter and Reddish really struggled in their 1st season. Meanwhile the Suns and Heat nailed their picks. Cam Johnson and Tyler Herro looked like high impact starters in the bubble games.
