Picks like McCluster are a coup if you are a GM, because you get a guy who will be pretty much as good as he'll ever be right away. Most people are rightfully tired of losing, but we seem to be getting to the point (like arguing over the fact that you can win with a game manager) that we're willing to take shortcuts.
That's how you end up in purgatory.
