It’s all a risk.
At least, in the draft, it’s only about guessing whether a prospect will end up being a productive player or not. We fans get all bothered because our #26 pick was a dud, but some other team found a productive guy at #42.
When signing a high-dollar player, it’s a long-term commitment that can decimate a team for years, particularly under the new CBA rules.
