I think the jury is in and it's not good.
Three draft picks in six years is not compelling. Powell & Heustis developed most when Madsen was around. Didn't see much more improvement after he left.
Verhoeven is a bust let's just accept that & move on - if he were top 100 talent he wouldn't have been playing only in garbage time and when the three big men were all in foul trouble. Rosco is still trying to realize his potential. Randle will end up playing in Europe - he's not fast enough to be an NBA PG and he's not big enough to be an NBA SG.
What about the rest of the current roster? Other than Anthony Brown is there one ounce of NBA potential other than the recruits that nobody has seen? None of them could crack a regular rotation of six guys last year. I'm sure that if any of them was good enough Dawkins would have had a 7 or 8 player rotation.
