I think people are thinking to much of the magic box and draft picks. Look at the 2nd round from 2013. Lazar and his 12 points just from last season is better that 75% of the players career numbers from that draft (in the second round). His 51 career points puts him tied for 1st.

Look at the 2014 2nd round. There are 2-3 out of 30 players that you would consider successful picks. Same could be said for 2015 and probably 2016, although it is to early to tell. Bottom line getting a player like Lazar out of the second round is probably on the more successful side for that pick. You only hear about the successful 2nd rounders, but in reality they probably come with the same odds as a roulette wheel.
