Random thought.

Imagine an NBA team getting the same picks as the Oilers, they would have a roster of:
Connor McDavid, 2015 1st overall - Karl-Anthony Towns
Leon Draisaitl, 2014 3rd overall - Joel Embiid
Darnell Nurse, 2013 7th overall - Ben McLemore
Nail Yakupov and Mitch Moroz, 2012 1st and 32nd overall - Anthony Davis and possibly Draymond Green as he was 35th pick.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Oscar Klefbom, 2011 1st & 19th - Kyrie Irving & Tobias Harris (Deep draft even All-stars Jimmy Butler and Isaiah Thomas were still on the board)
Taylor Hall, 2010 1st overall - John Wall
Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson, 2009 10th overall - Brandon Jennings
Jordan Eberle, - 2008 22nd - Courtney Lee

How is it possible to be a 2nd worst team in the league with a roster of:
PG: Wall, Irving
SG: Lee, Jennings
SF: Harris, McLemore
PF: Towns
C: Davis, Embiid (assuming he's not the next Greg Oden)

That's literally a title contending team lol.
