Is our rebuild going well is the question? It looks like we're on the slow boat in my opinion, which is frustrating, but whatever. Drafting is better, that gives me hope. two super stars emerging for our team from some high picks the next few years changes a lot.

Conroy always had a clear plan from the very beginning, accumulate as many top 90 picks as possible and hope that a decent percentage hit. That has been his plan from day one and he basically has never deviated from it. Doubt he will deviate anytime soon. A rebuild that has a plan to have 25-30 picks in the first 3 rounds over a 5 year period takes time to show results. Despite doing a good job getting Suniev, Conroy was effectively first able to start accumulating these picks in the 2024 draft.
2024 - 6 picks
2025 - 4 picks
2026 - currently 5 picks
2027 - currently 5 picks
2028 - currently 3 picks.
Suspect he continues to accumulate picks and the total number for that period of time ends up north of 25 but less than 30. Conroy has never done anything to indicate there is any desire to be competitive when the new arena arrives and I doubt that will change either.
Folks can be mad about the plan but the plan seems pretty clear to me.
