Do Small Market teams really build through the NBA Draft?

This morning Bobby Marks, who was the assistant General Manager of the Brooklyn Nets and a 20 year NBA front office vet, tweeted out some team information. He looked at each of the 30 rosters and figured out where each player came from: the NBA Draft; through trades; or from NBA Free Agency. It was very cool of him to do so, and I am certain that other intrepid people (like me) will pour over it's info. I do not know how accurate these are, and understand that you could argue for the inclusion of certain players to be in different categories (Kobe Bryant, for example, could be called a traded asset for the Los Angeles Lakers -- and not a draft pick).
