Hindsight on the draft is the absolute worst. No one was pimping Klay Thompson for instance, but he was on the Cavs radar and they tried to take his brother instead. Everyone wanted to take Kanter in that draft for instance, and quite frankly we were better off with TT which many people think was a bad choice. Valanciunas was the consensus pick after Kanter was off the board, and again that might have worked out, but maybe we are ringless with that choice.
Collin is making progress, and surely Kevin Love's spacing and ball movement are a big part of that. I thought he took a step last night and showed how competitive he can be.
Something about losing ballstoppers in Burks and Hood really helped him beyond the Kevin stuff.
According to Jason Lloyd, the Cavs had a deal on the table with Sacramento for Hickson where the Kings would draft Klay at 7 and send him to the Cavs for Hickson.

Klay
That would've been a hell of a draft night.
