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.

This is a good take.
The only really high certainty picks are the first few. After that, it really is dice rolling and Conroy is clearly prioritizing quantity over tanking for quality.
You can get good players either by having a huge number of rolls in the latter half of the 1st and beyond, or drafting really, really high. Conroy is clearly doing the first.
