    The Cavs could have had Valanciunas, Drummond, and drafted a shooting guard like McLenmore.

    Instead they have two point guards and two power forwards. Waiters isn't bad as a two, but this Bennett pick is going to be one of the worst draft decisions in awhile.

    Clearly not a NO.1 pick but might turn out not useless.

    Either his 6'8" is being very generous, or that lady interviewing him is a giant.

    I meant that they could have taken him (or another wing player) instead of Bennett.

    There's bad. There's awful. There's horrible. There's atrocious. Then 50 lbs of crap...

    And then there's James Harden's defense tonight.

    He looked good in that highlight package vs the magic.

    Its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to early to say he's a bust. His scoring skills look good.

    Its not like there was a franchise changer to pick from. Mclemore is probably the only guy who could be but

    Nerlens Noel
    Alex Len
    Otto Porter
    Victor Oladipo
    Cody Zeller

    not one of those guys screams franchise player. Honestly I think Caldwell-pope or Mclemore will have the best careers out of the top 10 but that was a pretty terrible draft to pick high in, hence why morey fleeced okc even more bc even if that toronto pick was top 5 big deal those guys are all meh

    Have you not been watching Oladipo & MCW play yet this year? Also Noel, who would have been the hands-down #1 pick if not injured, has not even played yet.

    As usual, drafts which are supposed to be weak always turn out a few really good to great NBA players every year. 2009 was supposed to be Blake Griffin and the weakest supporting cast in history, but in the end churned out Harden, Curry, Holiday, Rubio, Evans, DeRozen, Lawson, and many others.

    This draft looks like it has the ability to pump out some very serviceable bigs in Adams, Olynyk, Len, Gobert, and looks to have some high upside guys with early positive signs so far.
