The scouting department got a Hart quality player at 46 in JC, so it's not once in a lifetime. It's about figuring out what will/won't translate in the NBA and taking the BPA at your pick, or recognizing someone dropping farther than they should and going out to grab a pick to get them.
Some praised the team for finding Nance who was a good player. We hear about guys like Draymond and Butler plucked late in the draft, but I don't recall 2 high quality players going to the same team in one draft after other teams undervalued them.




There are certainly instances of teams getting two good players low in the first round and beyond. In fact the Lakers have done it twice

66 Lakers - John Blockat 27, Archie Clark at 27 (both all-stars)
73 Sixers -- McGinness at 22, Caldwell Jones at 33, Harvey Catchings at 138
77 Lakers -- Norm Nixon at 22, James Edwards at 46
86 Blazers - Sabonis at 24, Petrovich at 60
87 Celtics -- Reggie Lewis at 22 (only 23 teams then); Brad Lohuas at 45
08 Spurs -- George Hill at 26, Goran Dragic at 45
11 Bulls -- Jimmy Butler at 33, Norris Coles at 28


The '93 Laker draft was awfully sweet too: George Lynch (#12), Nick The Quick (#37).

If Kuzma makes all star next year, the scouts deserve a raise. I mean like a big raise...triple their salaries. However, they have had their fair share of blunders...DLo and JR? Lakers haven't had an all-star since Kobe retired. Ingram, two years running haven't made all star. Lonzo is still tbd but one thing is for certain his jumpshot is ugly af.


DLo and Randle weren't blunders imo.
