I think it's fair to say that JS/PC drafted with the floor, not the ceiling in mind. It's a good strategy.
Sure, the ceiling with Carter, or say Richardson is potentially sky high, but their floor is potentially just as low as their ceiling is high.
Contrast that to Witherspoon and JSN. Even if one or both don't meet lofty expectations, they will still be great starters for the next 4-5 years. Seriously, I think their absolute floor is a solid contributing starter for years to come.
The most important thing was to ensure we don't waste unprecedented draft capital. We didn't. It may not be who I "wanted", but I'm content and getting more excited the more I read about these new Hawks.
