Yes there are exceptions, but if you notice one thing about Veach’s early picks. There’s one thing in common. He very much prefers to use the premium picks on young guys. McDuffie, Karlaftis, and Skyy were all 21. Creed and Bolton were both 21. Clyde 21 and Willie Gay was 22.
McDonald will be 24 when the season starts. I don’t think his age automatically rules him out or anything. But it would definitely be breaking the norm

I did a breakdown in another thread and I think I only spotted like 6 dudes that were 23/24 when drafted the entire time Veach has been drafting guys. He definitely prefers younger players, probably so they still have value when looking to extend or maybe trade them. If you draft a 24yo, they will be 28 or so when their rookie deal is up. Unless they are baller af, we aren't going to be super invested in extending them long term.
