2017 Draft Prospects

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
No one gets more worked up over totally unknown players than you do. You told me Briante Weber was going to contribute for them as well, and he's in Charlotte.

Hah. It's nice that you point out to 1 thing I was "wrong?" about. I thought Weber would be a nice acquision because the Cavs lacked any sort of defense at the point of attack and taking a flier on a young athletic backup PG(When they had none) wasn't a bad idea regardless of the outcome. It was only a 10 day contract and they chose to do nothing.
Meanwhile you get worked up about every little thing so that's a bit ironic if you ask me.

Secondly, I don't get worked up. I just put value in the draft regardless of position, especially when there are guys to be had that fit the need. I was also high at the time on McCaw and was 'mad" that GSW were able to buy a pick before the Cavs and grab him(I was again bashed for putting to much value on the draft). Look and behold, he played signifcant minutes in the playoffs and even in game 5. His playoffs advanced stats are pretty damn good for a 2nd round rookie.

Times have changed Rich, 2nd rounders are much better nowadays because most of the 1st round picks declare early as freshmen or sophmores at worst and the Seniors slip into the 2nd round or late 1st regardless of their skill level and are perfect for teams like the Cavs.

Cavs had a perfect chance to buy a 2nd round pick. For crying out loud, 76ers picked Jawun Evans at 39 for the Clippers and sold that pick for 100k! Evans would have been a great backup for us but we did nothing.
There were a bunch of other teams selling and buying draft picks in the 2nd round and us not having enough funds to buy a pick is not viable. You can wait till July 6 till the NBA Moratorium is lifted to make a trade official

There will be good players picked in the 2nd round of this draft and I believe Jordan Bell will be one of them.

The main thing is, I don't trust this FO to do the right thing(do we have a FO right now? not sure), especially not scouting wise. Even their delay in signing/inviting good value undrafted players in the position of need right after the draft is madenning. What are they waiting for? their only SL invite that I saw mentioned was TJ Willaims, a mediocre prospect that does nothing for us.

So yeah, i'm a bit critical.
