PLAYOFFS ROUND 2: #1 PHX (3-4) vs. #4 DAL (4-3) | DAL advances to WCF!

Looks like DAL fans aren't the only ones lamenting missed opportunities in the draft. 

Dallas fans complain about not drafting at all for most of the time. Phoenix are an example how drafting even when you have high picks, isn't easy:
2013: #5 Len (bust), #30 Nedovic (bust), #57 Oriakhi (not in league)
2014: #14 Warren (rotation player), #18 Ennis (bust), #27 Bogdanovic (rotation player), #50 Brown (not in league)
2015: #13 Booker (star), #44 Harrison (not in league)
2016: #4 Bender (not in league), #13 Papagiannis (who?  ), #28 Labissiere (not in league), #34 Ulis (not in league)
2017: #4 Josh Jackson (bust), #32 Reed (not in league), #57 Peters (not in league)
2018: #1 Ayton (almost star), #16 Smith (traded for Bridges - almost star), #31 Okobo (out of league?), #59 King (out of league)
2019: #6 Culver (traded for Cam Johnson - rotation player), #32 KZ Okpala (traded, not sure what they got for him)
2020: #10 Smith (not looking good, already dumped)
2021: no pick, all traded

So in eight years of lottery picks they managed to get one star, two almost stars and a couple of rotation players. That is it from 23 picks. They totally wasted #5, twice #4, #10 picks in this timeframe.
