NBA draft mistakes 3.0: The Cleveland Cavaliers in 2013

Players with injuries should not count.

Not entirely. Players already with injury history drafted high should not be exempt.

What's weird is that Allen Crabbe somehow just forgot how to play basketball when he was actually pretty good for a stretch. Can't believe he's currently out of the league.

His DUI arrest didn't help.

I remember all the jokes about Giannis in this draft, all the information anyone had was grainy far away footage of a skinny kid dunking on 6'0" nobodies.

I won't say nobody saw him coming, but most people had been pretty skeptical. As is apparently my custom in these threads, let's see how I can make it about the Wolves.

For giggles, the Cavs spend the #1 on Giannis. Does he help the Cavs win more then Bennet year 1? no, he did not become what he is for a few years after. So the following year they take Wiggins. Does Giannis 6.8 points, 4 rebounds, 1.6 assists make it so he is not tossed into the Kevin Love trade like Bennett??? Hell no. Wolves get Giannis and Wiggins for Kevin Love.

I remember the talk was low floor, highest ceiling. Like the top ceiling in the entire draft.

it was high risk. But super high reward

he’d fit great for Gs now

Cal product too. But at this point, in all honesty, I'm not sure he's an upgrade over Damion Lee. Lee is the one guy on the Warriors roster who needs more playing time.

what were the words Fran Frachella used? (whatever that guys name is) on another foreign prospect?

he is 2 years away from being 2 years away.

Giannis was not quite that- but he had a lot of development to go and to his credit he absolutely nailed it.
