Why can't we develop players?

Think about it. Who was the last player we drafted who blossomed into a quality starter in this league? Here's a list of our recent draft picks:

2012
Beal - We don't know yet, but it's by no means a sure thing that he'll ever be a good starter.
Satoransky - Probably will never play in this league

2011
Vesely - A bust. At best, a role player off the bench
Singleton - Looks like a bench role player
Mack - Journeyman at best

2010
Wall - Starter, but was a starter as a rookie and has shown no significant improvement
Seraphin - Improving. Perhaps the only recent example of a developmental success. Though much of it might be because he plays for the French national team. And he's still not a starting quality player yet.
Booker - A role player. Was a pretty good role player as a rookie. No dramatic signs of development since. Won't be a starter.

2009
Traded pick for Mike Miller

2008
Javale McGee - 5th year in the league. Still not a starter.
Bill Walker - Journeyman. Is he even on a roster this year?

2007
Nick Young - Not a starter.
Dominic McGuire - Role player

2006
Pecherov - Bust. Out of league.

2005
Blatche - Still not a starter.

2004
Devin Harris - traded for Jamison
Peter John Ramos - Out of league

2003
Jarvis Hayes - Never any good. Out of league
Steve Blake - Journeyman role player

2002
Jared Jeffries - Never a quality starter
Juan Dixon - Journeyman role player.
Rod Grizzard - Out of league
Juan Carlos Navarro - Never panned out in the NBA

2001
Kwame Brown - Never a decent starter despite being the #1 overall pick

2000
Mike Smith - Who?

1999
Richard Hamilton - Yay! The most recent example of a bonafide success story of developing a draft pick. And we traded him.

current 2012 record 0-7

peace!
