The tanking model would work better if the NBA had an age limit that was higher IMO. The trouble with draft picks is 19 year old is not really ready for the NBA. There are always a few expectations to the rule, that's the biggest problem. Let them come in at 21 and you would see rebuild jobs go quicker. Most players don't hit their prime until 27/28. That's the age you win championships. Go down the list of all time NBA greats and when they win the first one and look at their age.
