well i have to admit i forgot the draft lottery was yesterday because the Cavaliers currently are without draft picks. as mentioned in other threads there are those rumors out there that might get the Cavaliers back into the 1st rd. most presume that the Cleveland is looking to get one of the PG's which is definately a need for this club.
however say they are picking somewhere between 8-14 which most likely means Paul and Williams are gone, true there is still Felton and Jack but could the Cavaliers go in another direction?
say you have big men on the board like Channing Frye, Chris Taft, Charlie Villanuava on the board do you go that way? a front line with Lebron, Anderson, and one of those guys could look very good for the future. maybe you are playing without that true center like Z, but those guys are a dying breed and these guys may be the best option.
what if the Cavaliers are in a position where they could take a guy like Gerald Green? maybe he doesn't help right away but if he becomes a McGrady type player down the road he would look nice paired up with Lebron.
of coarse none of this matters if Cleveland can't move back into the 1st rd.
also wonder who you guys see as 2nd rd steals?
a couple guys i like are Daniel Ewing, Jawad Willams, Sean Banks, Eddie Basden
i am a little surprised to see that NBADraft.net has Ronnie Turiaf and Francisco Garcia as 2nd rd picks so i would consider them as a major steal.
other guys i find interesting
David Lee because of his athletiscm
Salim Stoudamire won't be a starter in the NBA because he is very small for a 2 and has never really shown he is a PG, but could be a nice scorer off the bench for someone.
Julius Hodge even though i was never overly impressed by him in college. but he does seem like he could be a Jamal Crawford type NBA player.
Bracey Wright is a little small for a NBA 2 and has battled some injuries but i think there is a lot of talent there.
John Gilchrist has the talent but seems to be a bit of a head case.

.. IF you've ever watched him play, you should know that he goes all out at 1000%.. gives it everything he has.. he looks like he would run thru a brick wall for his team.. he's quick with a great first step, can also handle the ball, and great on the ball defender - which at 6-6 is a great thing..
