I think someone was fired for this. Feaster picked Sven didn't he? I don't think we should have picked him to begin with anyway but it was a pretty weak draft as pointed out. It doesn't matter where he was picked because he just wasn't good enough. Saying he was a first round pick that was mismanaged is about as valid as saying he was outworked by players who were picked way lower than him. If no prospects did well in our system then there would be an issue but others passed him because he just wasn't good enough and didn't put in the work.
