Draft classes are the way to championships in this league. Very few teams are able to make enough big free agency moves to put them into contention. You have to build a franchise from the draft, and make smart draft choices to be successful.
That is what GM Chris Ballard has been preaching. He has been preaching patience ever since he took over as GM. Last year’s draft class though had mixed results. They don’t have the 3rd or 4th round pick from that class on the roster anymore, and the 2nd rounder (Quincy Wilson) is oft injured.
