Generally, I would argue that immediate impact and eventual dominance go hand in hand, but there is really no decision when picking between them.
I hope this isn't the case, but it's hard to watch game film from last year and not feel like ST's best days are behind him. If (god forbid) his best days are behind him, then he obviously wasn't worth that 5th overall selection, despite his immediate impact.
