The Decision. Part 2!
The NBA's lottery was last night and as fate would have it. The Cleveland Cavaliers came out as the winners; something they didn't do a lot of last season. But with the help of this years 1st and 4th pick in the draft the Cavaliers have the ability to bounce back from a record breaking losing season as they broke the NBA record for consecutive losses in a season with 26 in a row. As they try to put that season and Lebron James behind them, they have to be careful that they choose the right players because with this year's draft not being one with a lot of star potential, it would be devastating for the Cavaliers and the state of Cleveland if their managment made some poor decisions like the Portland Trailblazers, who picked Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan and Greg Oden over Kevin Durant. Right now it's hard to tell who's going to be a star in this draft but some analyst are saying that the top 5 players are Kyrie Irving (Duke), Derrick Williams (Arizona), Brandon Knight (Kentucky), Enes Kanter (Turkey), and Jonas Valanciuanas (Lithuania). With two top five picks most people are saying that the Cavaliers should draft a guard first like Kyrie Irving and draft a big man second to help out J.J. Hickson down low. The question is what guard should they select. No one had a better year than Kimba Walker as he led his team to win the Big East tournanment and The National Championship. Then there is the NCAA player of the Year Jimmer Fredette who has tremendous shootin range from anywhere in the gym. Also the Cavs may want to consider Brandon Knight who has amazing athletic abilty and could turn out to be the next Derrick Rose who was also coached by John Calipari. As far as which big to select first it seems like everyone agrees that Derrick Williams with his shooting ability and explosiveness would be the best big. Well it seems like the Cavaliers are apart of another big "decision" only this time they can determine the outcome.
