After a season where the Cleveland Cavaliers played just one rookie, Isaiah Mobley, for a total of 84 minutes all year, it doesn’t appear likely that they will have any significant rookie contributors this next season either. The Cavs don’t have a first-round pick for the first time since 2017 due to the trade for Caris LeVert from the Indiana Pacers.
Slotted to pick at number 49 from the Golden State Warriors, it’s unlikely they will find someone who can immediately make an impact on a playoff team. On the other hand, there are plenty of buy-low prospects who might be able to thrive in the three-and-D role the Cavs desperately need.
