The only drafted prospects (in their draft year or just out of it) that have real sustained value are basically the top 10. If a player in their D+1 or D+2 years have positive development, they will have more value than where they were drafted. The majority of draft picks see stagnation or regression.
I say stagnation or regression, because there is an expectation for a player to get better on both the offensive and defensive side of the game, and this is the most difficult thing to accomplish for most players. You have to be exceptional to survive as a one-facet player.
