    Funny thing is that the assumption seems to be that Gobert will be pushed around at the next level, but Noel won't. Gobert is 32 lbs. heavier than Noel.

    If we are purely going off of blocks, let's get Jeff Whithey.

    Withey will be a good (maybe very good) NBA player.

    WAS was really high on Len through the season...I don't know that he's a) good enough to go #3 or b) his injury/surgery soured him a bit. Some people were saying they'd take him over Noel.
    Oladipo and MKG on the floor at the same time would be--pretty epic defensively.

    Someone will be there at 10, especially with Stevens and Saric creeping into the top 10.

    Cavs are just stockpiling these high draft picks.

    Kyrie #1
    Waiters #3
    Thompson #4
    and now another #1

    All within 3 years. Pretty pathetic that they still suck if you ask me.

    Maybe this year they will take Len number one. Waiters and Thompson both felt like they went early.

    Yeah - they seem to just take the player they like regardless of how high others have him ranked. I think Len would be a better choice for them than Noel. Also Otto Porter, although of course they won't need a SF when LeBron re-signs with them...

    It would be a little ironic, though: they passed up Valanciunas with the fourth pick and then take the poor man's version with the #1.

    (The Cavs are in the situation we were in when we could've had Chris Paul but had committed to Telfair: they should go with McLemore but they've invested in Waiters. If McLemore really is Ray Allen II, then they should take him and send Waiters back to the bench, like at Syracuse.)

    I was thinking the same thing. They better be completely sold on Waiters before passing on McLemore. BPA......
