Being a big basketball guy I am excited for this draft especially as a Cavs fan. Personally, I think that Kyrie will go first and to the Cavs but we will see because there have been talks of them moving picks around. Link to comment

Obviously Kyrie goes #1, followed by DW. After that, who knows. Probably the two big guys next in some fashion. (Kanter and Jonas) NBA Draft rarely gets me excited. It's just not that entertaining. And if your team doesn't have a Top 1-15 pick, it rarely effects your team. Link to comment

Usually the top 15 are exciting to see who gets who but usually after that you rarely find guys that will make a strong impact in the league. However, you will get the occasional surprise.

Tristan Thompson, Canadian Actually he went to the Cavs 4th overall. Although, the Raptors did draft a random European center at #5. Link to comment

I agree. Which right now is the Miami Heat's downfall. Good big men are hard to come by and if you think about all the championship caliber teams they all have a solid post presence. Tim Duncan is probably one of the greats of all time and he is hard to replace. Great solid big men are hard to come by now-a-days so I pretty much agree. 1 Link to comment
