The counter is that the team is in Win Now mode, so picks will be spent to fill out the roster. But a team in Win Now finishing 20th is a problem.

I'd argue that your #2 is a long term #1 given his age and Gio's age, and that your #4 is actually the #3 purely based on performance and responsibilities.
