Sorry, but it is true.
Last year only 6 players taken in the second half of the first round started as many as 8 games. And only a total of 9 players taken in the second round. Those numbers are about the same every year.
When we were picking in the top half of the first round every year you could hope for e decent starter as a rookie. But at 31 not so much.
It could happen, (see: Higgins) but I would not want to depend on it.
