context is important for these situations too. S61 was a good draft where a GM taking themselves with the 2nd pick of R2 was fine because players about as valuable as Ace were still available around that pick. Wally is objectively worth way more than the players around where he planned on taking himself so he is just trying to give himself a competitive advantage by doing what he did. Luke stopped him from getting said advantage. Why is he the bad guy here? This rule being made doesn't change that Wally tried to take advantage of what was at the time an unfair situation that favors him and Luke stopped it

I can easily see about 8 players that were of equal value TPE wise of where Luke took Wally, which would have easily fit in the next toronto picks or so, so i don't know where you are going by saying that no one was as valuable as Wally was at that position.
