Of course it is no guarantee. BUT if you trust your scouting department then you spend current talent that is possibly at its ceiling to get that player your scouts are saying is special.
Just as a thought exercise:
Wonder if the Mavs think Killian Hayes is a future star. Wonder if he starts to slip in the draft to the end of the top 10 (?), they might go ALL IN to grab someone like him. An 18 year old with a ceiling they think is STAR level.
