We just have to hope they're still terrible after whatever top pick they get this year.
Now, this is interesting:

Flip Saunders is picking his spots for Amir, Elliott. The potential you keep hearing about with him is real, but he’s not as NBA ready right now as the players ahead of him in the frontcourt rotation. Amir will make spectacular plays but also struggles with some aspects of the game, particularly in his man-to-man defense where he can sometimes be overpowered. Keep in mind that he’s two years younger than Arron Afflalo.
So, Amir is not ready. Well, why won't Joe or Flip come out publicly and say that? I know they don't have to do that to pacify the fans, but the question is out there and many have already asked.
