Yes, but a player drafted in the second right now could be a good enough trade chip when Brad is going all in next year at the deadline to put the team over the top.
This team still needs to accumulate assets. I personally don't believe you can think of buying hard until Bennett is a good top sixer. Give it time.
On Versteeg, a 1 year contract, tops. But if you can get a conditional first for him, bye.
