You can go out and a get a bottom 6 player via free agency, but chances are that means you are going to pay more than you want for that type of player.
You are giving up the upside that the 2nd rounder would have netted you a better player - but the chances of that actually happening are very remote.
Lazar is a better player than most that will be drafted in the 2nd round.
Add to that the low salary and that's why he was worth a 2nd.
