How has the process worked for Sacramento? They have had 9 top ten picks (5 top five) in the last 12 drafts.
How about Minnesota? They have had the #1 overall pick twice in the last six drafts. They have had top five picks 7 times since 2008.
Orlando? The have five top six picks since 2013.
OTOH, ATL is apparently one of the best young teams in the NBA. On their current roster, their are no top 3 picks. Trea was the #5 pick in the in 2018, and Hunter (who is out) was the #4 pick in 2019.
The Bucks have picked in the top 9 the NBA draft once since 2009, and that one pick was a disaster, Jabari Parker in 2014. The Greek Freak was the #15 pick in 2013 draft.
The Clippers have had one top 10 pick since 2010... Al Farouq Aminu #8 in 2010.
The Suns have had several top 5 picks over the last 10 years, and they are all busts, but Ayton: Alex Len #5 in 2013, Dragan Bender (yikes) #4 in 2016, Josh Jackson #4 in 2017. The Suns best player Booker, was the 13th pick in the 2015 draft. Mikal Bridges was the 10th pick in the 2018 draft.
Golden State never tanked and built their championship team around middle of the first round picks. Same with Toronto. There isn't historical precedent supporting that tanking works to build a power. The 76ers collapse is another example.
