In today’s NBA, draft picks tend to be the currency of choice. If you’re trading a star player, you’re probably looking for a cache of them in return.

With that said, it’s not the only way forward. Rebuilding clubs can also be well-served to target young players who are already in the NBA. After all, every player’s trajectory isn’t the same.

Some players take a little longer to find their stride than others. Any rebuilding team would like to be the one that facilitates a young player’s breakout season.
