2024 NBA Draft

[cliffdawg]

Assume we keep Mitchell and trade Garland, I would want a veteran PG to share/ compete with Porter idealy that would be Ty Jerome but I wouldn’t trust him to stay healthy……Sign me up for Ware

 

[cliffdawg]

Tristan Enaruna is a name to remember. 6'8, 220, CSU Grad, got the invite to the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament

Played at Kansas for 2 years, avg about 10 MPG there.

This year avg. 19.6/6.5/2.7 1BLK, 1.2SPG, shot 50% from field, 32% from 3

Looks like and plays like Tobias Harris, minus the 3PT

I watch him play all year, I don’t see him getting Drafted, I would love to bring him in as an Exhibit A contract, I believe that’s what it’s call….That way you could bring him in throughout training camp, then assign him to our G league team and see could he earn himself a 2 way contract like Nance did…..But since he a natives of the Netherland I could see him playing overseas first.

At best he's a late 2nd but I think he will be an UDFA summer league invite somewhere. He has the body and skill set

I love Dalton Knecht. We’d have to trade up 10 or more spots to grab him but he’d be a fun fit and contribute to some Cavalanches.

I’ve read this draft being called the worst people have ever seen, and directly compared to 2013.

Yuck.

I believe it, I think it could be easy to move up this year, if there’s a certain player that fall to the mid teens

The conundrum is while a wing would be ideal it seems a lot of the wings are more a true two who an flex to the three (Shannon, Tyson, George, Alexander) as opposed to a three who can flex to the four which is really more so what they need.. Within that, some of the guys who may be fit don't really have good shooting numbers (Dunn, McCullar, Jones, Bridges) which also concerns me.. And some of the guys who may do both (Scheierman, Sandfort, Ingram, Larsson) seem more like round two talent than round one talent..

The wing group just doesn't excite me however the big man group does..

Filipowski is the one real wild card.. Tankathon has him #14, ESPN has him #16 and the Ringer has him #24.. If the Cavs choose to split up Mobley and Allen, this really may be their best shot to keep the two big look while having a modern big skillset.. I have some questions about his free-throw shooting, and then rebounding and toughness if paired with Mobley but this could be a guy worth going up to get if they want to unpair Mobley & Allen.. The Thunder at 12 and the Pelicans at 14 may be open for business..

The two guys I keep coming back to is Tyler Smith and Bobi Klintman -- they both seem to be in the range the Cavs will be in and I like the upside play based on their skillset and how they fill a need with this roster... I'd be tempted to make this pick considering the Cavs lack of picks moving forward as opposed to going safe..

I really like the idea of Da'Ron Holmes as well but am really surprised to see him firmly as a second rounder... I for sure thought he'd be in the mix at the Cavs pick late in the 1st..

Cavs officially locked into the 20th pick in the draft..

So much for having a late 1st round pick -- #20 has a real shot at providing the Cavs with a legitimate rotation player.. Last 4 years: Cam Whitmore, Malaki Branham, Jalen Johnson and Precious Achiuwa..

I'm really interested to see what guy falls out of the lottery into the 20th pick which has been a trend of late..

This has me more thinking about the possibilities of a Tristan da Silva and Kyle Filipowski than before while still being intrigued by Klintman's and Smith's upside..

I know Ware will be more talk now that he's in the post-lotto range but I can't reconcile all the talk of effort and BBIQ, and think that's a good fit..

 

[Adam]

I just prey for someone who is taller than 6'5

This draft is going to be extremely interesting because there seems to be a group of like 15+ prospects starting around #10 that are similarly rated and will only be differentiated by team need or fit. Even looking at a guy like Dalton Knect, I've seen mocks where he's as high as #3 and as low as #10.

As you mentioned in your other post, da Silva and Filipowski are the two most interesting to me. I watched a few of Colorado's games this year and he stood out to me. Reminded me a bit of Slo Mo. Not a jump off the page athlete, but I think he's a player who will be better suited offensively for the NBA.

Is Zach edey not worth a look?

Not sure he has more than backup upside.

You might literally be the last Cavs fan if they draft Edey and keep JBB

You mean the draft with Giannis, McCollum, Adams, Gobert and a handful of decent role players? The floor was absolutely rock bottom on a lot of guys, but its a better draft than many give it credit for. IMO, it was as good as 15' & better than 14'.

I was speaking directly to the views of the draft leading up to it.

I would take the 2014 draft over 2013. Giannis being a once in a lifetime prospect transformation still doesn’t bring it up as high as Embiid’s group.
