If Chris Bosh hadn't gotten blood clots and the Heat hadn't egregiously tanked last season to keep their draft pick, the 76ers would've traded the only decent player on that list for a lottery pick in the range where players like Justise Winslow, Devin Booker, Myles Turner, Trey Lyles, and Cam Payne were on the board.

Looking around the rest of the league, you could probably count on one hand the number of late 2nd round/undrafted guys from the past 3 years who look to be potential rotation players, so that would appear to be an even lower rate of success. Unless, of course, it's better for a team to just let some crappy player sit at the end of the bench for as long as possible to make it appear that "the verdict's still out" on the player rather than admit drafting/signing him isn't working out.
