I said they all CAN play PF so they don't need another one, because their guard play is much more lacking. It would be a heck of a lot more beneficial for them to get a PG or a SG but since they have Kyrie Irving already a SG would be best. Also to add another thing i dont really believe Robinson can play SF... I'm a kansas fan so i watched every single one of his games at KU this last season and he isnt an outside shooter. He makes one here or there but in my opinion cant make it in the NBa as a SF. As a PF though he definitely can.

As for the second one... you got me. For some reason i was thinking charlotte had both Corey Maggette and John Salmons (Who is actually on Sacramento tee hee) on their team. I still think robinson would be a better pick for them but i applaud you for making me check my facts again because they actually could use an SF.

Gee is an SG and SF, I doubt he can play PF effectively... BUT back on topic EBW is right. Cleveland will not be taking a PF.

All signs point to they will take Kid-Gilchrist, or Austin Rivers
Edit: They desperately want a scorer/big-time scorer to compliment Irving.

Rivers that high? I think he goes to the suns, my mok draft, and almost evryone elses' mock draft has him going to Phoenix. I also belive the bucks will take Tyler Zeller. Think Sullinger will drop due to his fitness and hopefully fall to the Rockets. While then, Houston will also get Marshall. If the Rockets trade (which is highly likely now that they will) and if they have a top 5 pick, then they'd probably take Dummond. Remember this is if Rockets trade.

Rivers isn't going that high. If they do that they are stupid. My bet is still on Beal. He's young, athletic, and a great scorer. I still doubt they with take Kidd-Gilchrist because he is a F and they need a G.

Why doesn't anyone think the Cavs should pick Andre Drummond at center? And why do they need another guard in this draft? They're not going to be competing next season no matter who they draft and guards are way easier to find than centers, especially with Drummond's upside. Varejao isn't the long term solution for them.

Doesn't matter. Their guards absolutely suck except for Irving and debatably Gibson so they need to get a good player in this draft so they at least don't look like a joke like they did for some of their games last season. Plus even if Varejao isn't a long term player for them they can always pick up a Center next draft or make a trade t find a center. As long as varejao is still there though they need to find better guards.

They also have the 24th pick, and two very early 2nd round picks and there will be several good guards that will be available with those picks. They don't have to draft Beal with the 4th pick. With the 4th pick they need to pick whoever is available between TRob, MKG, and Drummond.

They weren't that far off from the 8th seed for awhile... then realized they wouldn't get it.

The East division is weak as heck. They can compete in 2 years for an 8th seed spot.

I completely agree. That's just what the rumors been. Course in honesty, heard that back when Rivers still was "just out of the lottery", as a 24th for them...

But they need scoring bad. I'll comment on the Gibson debateable here.

Gibson... the only person in the world that thinks Gibson can play beside himself is LeBron, and thats why Gibson is still in NBA.

Yes and I agree they'll be competing 2 years from now, but 2 years from now isn't next season.

Also as a Cavs fan, what's your opinion on Manny Harris? I heard he has some potential.

For some reason (i don't know why) I have a feeling that Sullinger will fall to the 15th or so pick........maybe the Rockets will have a chance.....they say that cause of how he performed at the NBA Comebine. He had too much body fat I think-and a sore back maybe. So he may be the faller. Rokcets shuld either get him or Zeller cause they need a Big Man badly-----they never had a good Center these days since Yao and McGrady were gone. Still don't know why McGrady left Houston.......but anyways...........my draft pics (1-5

Hornets-Anthony Davis
Bobcats-Thomas Robinson
Wizards-Bradley Beal
Cavs-MKG
Kings-Drummond


I'll give the others later, 1 thing for sure, I'm exactly 100% sure that Lillard will be a Raptor. and Barnes will be a GS Warrior.
