2012 Draft

Thought we needed a thread that we can discuss all draft matters.

[J. Lin Rose]

This upcoming NBA draft is going to be stacked. With Kyrie Irving at the helm, and doing a great job of it, you guys can still get a good lottery pick to play with him. Maybe not Andre Drummond good, but who knows, maybe a Perry Jones or a Jared Sullinger (an Ohio product, who would do well with the fans of Cleveland). It doesn't matter though, because even after THE DECSION (A poor choice made by Lebron back in 2010, that he is still recovering from), the future looks bright in Cleveland!

We desperately need an athletic, scoring swingman at either SG or SF.

I think it might be a little bit of a stretch to say the cavs will have a lottery pick, im thinking they are gonna be around pcik 10-14

That's still lottery. Anyone not in the playoffs is in the lottery.

10-14 is lottery. I hope we end up picking higher than that.

I don't think we're going to play better without Varejao either.

Get Perry Jones and Austin Rivers, Doesnt sound too crazy of an idea...

Where's the AND coming from? Don't we only have one draft pick?

[cle12152433]

Yea we only have one. The Sacremento pick is contingent on them making the playoffs, but with them 10 games under .500, it doesnt look like we have much of a chance of getting that.

I would love to get Austin Rivers, but im not sure he is going to come out. Perry Jones wouldnt be bad either, but he is definatley going into this years draft with less hype than he would have had last year.

Hey guys new to prosports even though i have been reading your opinions for a while now. If we were to draft Sullinger or Perry Jones what would we do with TT?

[stoneco1d]

Well if we our picking in the top ten or above, I think we need a sure or close to a sure thing so PJIII is out. If we can pick up another first round pick then I would definitely take a chance on him. He could play SF because he has the athletic ability to do so and would look good with TT and Andy. We could take a SG with our first pick a C in the second and would be sitting in a good spot. I don't know how crazy I am about Sullinger.

Right now if we trade for a lottery pick as well as our own I want to get Bradley Beal and Fab Melo. Now Beal pick is simple we need a two guard who can score consistently next to kyrie. Next Fab this guy has an intriguing skill set he has an excellent jump shot and a solid defender I think he would be a good compliment to T. T.

[browniebuck]

Jared Sullinger needs to go back to Ohio State and learn how to play defense as well as how to play consistently against bigger, more physical defenders. His offensive game has come around lately, but he hasn't dominated the college game nearly as often as we all had hoped this year.

We need to get a wing SG/SF and a center along with point guard depth (assuming they trade Sessions this year).

Hey guys...just saw this Lottery Mock on the web...Cavs land Lamb at No. 8, thoughts?

If we end up with only our pick in the draft and its somewhere in the 8-12 range like it is now we need to get Beal or Rivers, many scouting reports say Beal is the closest thing to Ray Allen that has come along in years.... If thats true, the thought of matching a 20 year old Ray Allen along side Kyrie in the backcourt is making me salivate. Rivers would be a great consolation prize, he can score like a SG, shoot the 3 like a SG, and pass like a PG.
