| Who we want for the Cavaliers (excluding Anthony Davis) |

I know the rules, but I'd still try to trade everything under the sun for Anthony Davis. I love that Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is full of leadership, hustle, and drive, but when a positive comment by an NBA player include "I wouldn't say he's a great ball handler or shooter or rebounder," it makes me nervous. So I guess the scoring of Bradley Beal would be my preference. |
The Cavs seem to love Harrison Barnes. I don't know why, he doesn't strike me as extra special, when his "best case upside" is in the Luol Deng category. But he knows how to score, and the Cavs need it. I guess they stick at #4, with Barnes. | #2: Thomas Robinson #3: Bradley Beal #4: Harrison Barnes #5: Michael Kidd-Gilcrist |

I've been listing to the talking heads, podcasts and surfing the web trying to figure out who I think the best pick for the Cavs will be. After much deliberation I think the pick should be MKG. Bradley Beal would also be nice, but for what everyone says, MKG's work ethic/leadership is off the charts, and with the type of work he puts in on the court, I'm sure he will find a way to correct his flawed jumper. |
I'm not really sure what to expect from the Cavs with this pick. Everyone knows they need scoring from the wing, and someone who can play well off the ball. Harrison Barnes makes me nervous, with his so-so tournament play. Bradley Beal can score, and will be able to from day 1. Even though I think they should draft MKG, Bradley Beal will be the pick for the Cavs. He will be able to contribute offensively from game 1, and will finally give the Cavs another option on offense, and another player for defenses to worry about. Unfortunately, they are going to have to move up to get him, the question is at what cost? | #2: Beal #3: MKG #4: Robinson #5: Barnes |

Either Kidd-Gilchrist or Beal would look nice in a Cavaliers uniform. While I like Beal's scoring potential, he's tabbed as a bit of a tweener due to his size. MKG's outside shot is a question mark, but with his motor and Kyrie Irving at the point, he'll get plenty of open looks. Give me some MKG in 2013! |
MKG comes to the Cavs. Why not? I expect MJ to cock up the second pick somehow, or maybe Chris Grant can fleece Michael on a trade. It would be a small measure of revenge for all the years Jordan tormented us on the court. Make it so, Chris. | #2: Drummond #3: Beal #4: MKG #5: Robinson |

Not a huge fan of Barnes but I think Kyrie Irving would make him (or anyone on this list) better so I'm feeling OK at #4. I wanted Robinson when he destroyed OSU but know he's a tweener. I guess MKG or Beal from what I've heard from "experts", but could live with Barnes |

If I'm Chris Grant, and I am in my daydreams, I take MKG. And if the Wizards try and cock-block, then I'll give Ernie Grunfield #4 and #24 to swap spots.
So MKG can't shoot? Don't care-- some of my favorite players have managed to dominate games without a reliable jumper, among them: Magic Johnson, Gary Payton, Dennis Rodman, Jason Kidd and now, Rajon Rondo. MKG is soaking with intangibles, and he destroyed Barnes last March. It's time to draft a player that wants to win as badly as we do. Gym rats, unite. |
Word is the Cavs have fallen hard for Beal, if they can make a deal with former arch-nemesis MJ to move up two spots. If not, Cleveland, won't you please welcome the underachieving, overrated forward from UNC. Barnes lost me even before he played a game for the Tar Heels, with this Decision-like video announcing his commitment to Carolina (fast forward to 2:42, when Barnes skypes his choice to the orgasmic delight of his fawning classmates). Shame on Roy Williams for playing along, and making a recruit bigger than his program. Moreover, Barnes looked sickeningly uncompetitive while squeaking by OU in the tournament. | #2: Beal #3: MKG #4: Barnes #5: Robinson |
