Don't the Cavs have two lottery picks? Williams looks good now, but he just reminds me too much of Beasley to be considered a franchise player.

No one in this draft is projected to be a franchise player, so what should be a sure 20 ppg scorer wouldn't be too bad.

Irving might go at that spot as well. Kid tried to carry Duke over Zona when his team stopped playing.

Is Irving really gonna leave when he hasn't proven anything? I really didn't think Duke would be a school someone goes one and done at. I'd rather draft Walker, he's got defense, dribbling, passing, and most importantly scoring.

I honestly think Lighty is a sleeper in this draft, and I hope we can nab him second round if possible.

I think Buford is gonna be drafted high, if he leaves. He's only a JR. He's gonna be a good wing player. I think he can be a lottery pick. But Lighty is projected Late 1st - Early Second.

I can see somewhat of a comparison, but most importantly, without the headcase part.

I don't know about Irving leaving or not. He was projected number 1 all season so I'm not sure if one game that he still scored 28 points in will change that.

Duke has had a few one and dones or two and dones so you never really know. There are so many factors.

Irving is a different type of player than Coach K has usually recruited. Not many players at Duke have had the option to leave after one season and be drafted as a top 5 pick. Luol Deng is the only player that I can think of in the last 10 years that Coach K had to worry about leaving after his freshman year, and look how that turned out.

Just posting to give some life but Cleveland got this right at 1. Irving - barring any injury - is going to be a star, I really do think so. He won't be able to carry the Cavs like LeBron obviously but if they can add someone like Harrison Barnes, Austin Rivers...someone who can score in next year's draft, they will at least be a consistent playoff team. Irving has tremendous size and his basketball IQ is off the charts, he isn't afraid to step up and just carry his team to the finish line either, he's the reason why we beat MSU this year.

He's the reason you beat a 19-15 10 seed? WATCH OUT NBA!

I was just giving an example of how he can carry a team. Dude, if he doesn't have injury problems he can be as good as Chris Paul.

I hope it works out, I can't believe we drafted Tristan Thompson, but that really shows me they did their homework. Whenever a team goes out on a limb like this it has to be for a reason.
