Conroy’s putting a lot on a quick turnaround and if they don’t, he might not be long for the organization.

This is why a 9th place finish this season is puzzling. If you're going to do a quick turn around you're better to do a deep dive and give yourself the best chance. There's a good chance the 9th pick doesn't move the needle, and if they don't move the needle or are they going to be able to get better players?
