it's too bad Cavs sucked at drafting this past couple of years

[GovernmentMan]

Kyrie was the only good pick

Seriously, why wouldn't they have gotten #1 pick last year instead?

No way in hell Lebron would consider going back there now.

Anyone deluded enough to think he'd ever go back deserves a smack of reality.

[NumberSix]

Anthony Bennett might be an epic bust past Kwame Brown levels. Say what you want about Kwame, at least he was always solid defensively.

[moe94]

The entire draft is pure busts. Worst draft ever.

TT was a good pick too

LaRue Martin #1 pick 1972. Only lasted 5 seasons and averaged 5.3ppg 4.6rpg is considered the biggest or one of the biggest busts as a top pick. Bennett is going head to head with LaRue for that all time spot.

They took him over Valanciunas though

why can't people understand that unless you're picking the next Lebron, it's not about drafting, it's about player development? that's why San Antonio consistently produces late draft picks that turn out to be good. they don't have a crystal ball. they're just that good at training players to become good players.

True but can't really fault them on picking TT, a starting caliber double-double player. Interestingly they've been in position to take a highly touted center prospect for 3 straight years and passed every time (val, drummond, Noel). I thought they should've picked Noel this year.

yup, its all about the team culture. Have some rep.

thanks. but it's more than just team culture really. it's more about the training program.

IMO, any kid good enough to be entered in the draft has the tools necessary to succeed in the NBA. now, it's on the coaches and staff to teach him everything he needs in order to succeed. you can't do that with a lousy development program.

I don't think he will go back myself but you do realise he has said that he wants to go back to Cleveland numerous times in the media? Talked about planning on doing things the right way and that he still owes them a championship.

I don't see it happening but it isn't as out there as some people make it out to be

dion waiters blows

[CelticBaller]

They Passed on Drummond, Barnes, shit trading down to pick Porter would've helped them stack up their roster
