The Cavs would take Jonas in a re-draft...100%.
The guy didn't play any more games in the NBA since the draft, so what changed?
What makes you think Big V can even play nba type of center role.

In the last 2 years I've watched Hickson and Thompson(both under 6'9") start some games at Center for us. I don't think Jonas at 7', 245 lbs and 7'4" wingspan would have any problem playing center. With his size, athleticism, and his ability to shoot/dribble/pass, he's going to be very versatile in the NBA....unfortunately he'll be on the Raptors.
He's an Euro, look at how much trouble Dirk has playing center, same size. While Chuck Hayes at 6'6 plays just fine. It's mostly about strength and being able to box out which is also strength and be willing to be physical and not a bitch. By size only measure Durant should be able to play center and that's just lol.

I'm not going by size only. I'm also going by the 100's of hours the scouts watched the guy and their opinions...and what I've seen myself. Not sure what the Euro thing has to do with anything.
It's the style of play that's being played in Europe that accommodates certain type of players in an environment where they prosper. Which is why you have MVPs in the Europe who are complete bums in the NBA. So yeah, Euro has a lot to do with it.
Please stop, Max. You've got me imagining a world where drafting any of Davis, Drummond, Robinson, Sullinger, Moultrie, and even Perry or Terrence Jones, if it came to that, would make absolute sense without any positional contortions or conceding our most recent #4 pick to be a bench player.
