It's not about a draft 3 years before. It's about drafts 3-10 years before. And the fact that everybody knew--that almost all the starters were over 30.
The roster Herm handed over to Haley was young, wasn't tied to a bunch of people under the cap, and had at least a core of foundational young players to build off of.
You can't even pretend that Haley and Herm inherited a similar situation. And by the way, Pioli pushed the process back only because he forced a 3-4 defense, even though Herm's defense was only a few pieces away from a pretty solid 4-3.
