Yes please.
There's a reason why players are ranked in the top 10 and outside of the top 20. It's cause they're more likely to be successful.
We no longer have the luxury of writing off seasons as rebuilds. It's been 4 years now and if we want to be competitive we NEED this pick to pan out into a roster player that fills one of our major holes, whether that be through trade or through actually picking a player. What this team can't do is sit around and hope a project player turns out in a few years.
