The beneficiaries are also very obvious. One is that Robinson had enough time to recover, and his later career was brilliant, and there were no serious injuries, and the Spurs actually got Duncan's signing right! The strongest power forward in history was born like this!
Judging from Duncan's future contribution to the Spurs and the establishment of the Spurs dynasty, this is definitely a very successful strategy. However, there are different views on this practice. Small market teams are not financially strong, so they can only get good players by draft. That's understandable.
