2021 Draft Lottery

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Come on people…..they are two completely different types of players (game skill and size wise). Not a fair comparison at all
I see more of a Muggsy Bogues kind of player...
 
Grant could have put all those names in a hat, and had a greedy monkey pull one out, and drafted better than Bennett.

And then dumbass compounds his utter stupidity by wasting another pick when there were still some good names on the board.
Didn't Mikey speak high of Bennett before and after the draft? I know grant was the gm but its not like he was anything more than patsy probably lol

Don't knock Karasev! Check that pass from Karasev to Bennett at 1:56. What could have been?
 
Giannis doesn't become who is today without Jason Kidd. Kidd plays Giannis at the point and take the lump with him to develop his ball handling and playmaking. Not many coaches would have done that.
right and that series showed how much better he has become as a passer in the past several seasons.
I would have few if any reservations drafting Scottie Barnes based on his potential as a Freak clone in a few seasons. his passing is already as good and he is not even in the league yet. if he has more interest in developing his offensive game than typical he might become the top player from this draft or close to it assuming Mobley reaches his ceiling.
I would love to have either on the Cavs roster but I think the lack of shooters will push them in other directions unfortunately.

So much to learn from that draft.

I won't pretend I had it all figured out at that time either. I knew who I hated - among them Bennett, Noel, and Muhammad. I actually really liked Karasev and believed the Cavs got that pick right.

Things I hope the Cavs may have learned:

1. Don't draft according to what a prospect says. Bennett said everything right. Where did that get him?

2. Tanking only works if it's a good top-tier draft. The 2013 draft - like the 2020 draft - was deep on maybes. That's how the Cavs end up with Bennett and the Warriors end up with James Wiseman.

3. Don't just draft for who the player is right now... find traits that give you the best player in the class four years down the road.

Grant didn’t want Bennett. It’s been well documented.
Griffin and Mike Brown made a big push to draft Bennet. The final vote to take him was 9-1 with Grant against it. He wanted to trade the pick or take Ben McLemore.
 
Not Sure Giannis grows into who he is in a good deal of situations back when he was drafted.
The right Cavs pick at the time was Vic O, but they had already screwed that choice up the year prior by taking Waiters.
Chris Grant everyone.
Crazy to think we passed on Damian Lillard for Dion Waiters and Giannis for Anthony Bennett. Those were just some horrid picks.
 
Red beans & rice didn’t miss someone. Dang, Reign Man is now all you can eat Wing Man. At least The Glove is holding it together & can still what shoes he’s wearing.

What does Giannis become though if he is on the Cavs? He gets one year playing with Kyrie and Dion with Mike Brown as coach before Lebron comes back.

I bet Giannis get pushed to being a better version of TT and never gets to handle the ball.
