Yes of course they count as assets. You know why? Because after about pick number 20, it's a total crapshoot so pick 20 is just as bad as pick 40. Lots of quality players are picked in the second round. You can get young guys who've come out too early and also young euros and keep them in Europe. How do you think teams like San Antonio and and OKC have built their teams? By drafting smart. And every now and then dudes like VanExel and Arenas come up in the second round.
