    Hope this isnt the case. Drummond has a higher ceiling but he also has a higher potential to be a bust

    Still hoping MKG or Beal falls to 4

    I think pretty much everyone agrees Drummond, and Perry Jones, are the 2 biggest boom/bust picks in this draft. MKG, Beal and Barnes are all 3 pretty safe to be starting quality players, but I'm not sure any of them are all-stars. If Drummond hits, he would be an all-star center for years. Pair him with an all-star caliber PG in Irving and you have a pretty good start. I'm not sure I'm completely in favor of Drummond, but its easy to see why Grant and the Cavs want to fall in love with him.

    I would be ok with Drummond and lamb. But I really want lamb over almost anyone in this draft

    No clue on whether he was a possibility for Cleveland or not and there isn't a thread for the draft, but just saw that Sullinger was trending on twitter. Clicked on his name and saw that he has been red flagged medically by NBA doctors due to back issues. This is according to unnamed sources so TIFWIW.

    sullinger is a slightly richer man's version of dajaun blair, so i don't think it matters that much. any gm in the lottery even thinking about sullinger will probably be looking a for a new job in about 3 years

    The trade the Wiz just made makes me think they are going to take Beal.


    Leaves MKG to us...

    True, Ariza is a defensive SF which is how MKG is being touted. Although they could release him to free cap space and still get MKG.

    Read Rashard Lewis is getting waived immediately by NO.

    Steal for the Wiz IMO.

    Bobcats will take MKG. Beal to the Wiz. Davis to NO.

    Cavs are screwed.

    I am really getting worried that they will take Drummand.

    Same.
  • Crimson streak
    I think they go with Barnes in that scenario.
  • ohiobucks1
    I wont mind Barnes or Drummond if we get them at 6

    6? Did we trade back or something?
  • ohiobucks1
    ^^^

    No, but I am hoping we do if MKG isn't around

    More of what everybody has been saying.

    Barnes or Rivers     RT @HPbasketball If the Cats take Beal. Wizards are going to get jammed. Can't go MKG w/ Ariza, can't go T-Rob w/ Nene/Oak.
  • Pick6
    Seen on the Cavs twitter that they are interested in MKG, Drummond, or Beal. I take it Beal beat Barnes in their workout against each other.

    Beal and Barnes both did well, but Beal displayed superior shooting. Barnes did display the ability to handle the ball well and was able to create distance on shots.

    I'm just gonna trust them to do what's best. They have 4 picks. They HAVE to get 2 guys that become very good players.
