Are Derrick Rose and John Wall on his thank call list? He owes them his first paycheck.

Nice pick for the Cavaliers, best player in the draft ;-)

He's good, but I dont think he will carry that team. They are lucky they can take 2 very good players.

Wolves get Williams. Kanter might go to the Jazz.

Love the pick, Utah.

I wonder what Cleveland's gonna do now.

Jazz get Kanter. LOL at the Cavs for screwing up the first pick.

See. Should have gone Williams and Knight. Looks like CLE goes Valanciunas now.

They already have Jefferson, Favors, Millisap, and Okur. They will probably end up trading one of them.

Definitely trade one or two of them. Take the best player available and out of the players being talked about at 3, it's Enes imo.

The thing about Irving is that he really could be a CP3 type PG. They're very hard find. There's a lot of other Derrick Williams out there.

 

The all-in move is to take Williams and then Knight, but the safe pick is Irving.

I wouldn't go that far. If I'm Utah, I like Jefferson/Kanter pairing up for the long-run.

You just lost Lebron James and the future of your organization is, well, there is no future. You go all-in and hope for the best. What exactly is the worst that could happen?

They may also need to move one of those other guys' contracts to get under the cap next year or after.

WHOA

First surprise of the draft there. I don't hate it.

If nothing else, they're a better team than they were last year opening day.

Well, if you're in Cleveland's situation it's pretty dumb to go safe. That being said, if they think he's the best player available then you obviously take him, I hope for their sake they didn't take him because they thought he was a safe pick.

Way to go Cleveland.

Brandon Knight and Williams are great athletes, but they are also tweeners. Knight is not a natural PG. He's a SG in a PG's body. Williams is a 6'8 240 pound PF that wants to play SF.

 

Irving and Kanter have clearly defined positions and tremendous skillsets for those positions.

Tyrus Thomas goes 4th overall again.

That's a horrible comparison.

Pretty much. I mean, Kyrie Irving? Does anyone really see him carrying a franchise?

 

 

 

Derrick Williams is still a very safe pick, so questioning him has no merit. What position will he play? Why does it matter? He's got skills to play both at a high level, namely at the offensive end. He can be an elite scorer, seems like the Cavs could use that right about now.

Love the Tristan pick. Big fan of his
