They don't seem to care about draft picks and while they've been surprisingly successful in the second rounds, their first round recent track record is beyond lousy and most of them have been dealt away. While they got a great deal on Thomas Robinson, he'll be a so-so NBA player. And in 2 years, Parsons has a contract that's going to make him more difficult to sign.
I think you give way too much credit to Morey. He seems like a guy more interested in proving how clever he is versus building a blueprint for a team.

In two years, both Lin and Asik are off the books if not traded. There goes the Parsons problem. I think Asik gets good value next year
T-Rob isn't on the team.
They still got a a really high 2nd for the White mistake. Got a high second back for the Morris mistake
1st rounder Terrance Jones looks promising. Showed flashes last year and dominated the D-league. He had 24/12 today in the summer league.
1st rounder Jeremy Lamb was a big part of the Harden deal
1st rounder Donatas Motiejunas has also shown promise and has apparently bulked up. His play on his national team should be interesting
Drafted Brooks, Landry, and Budinger as late picks.
