Cavs could go with player with more clear-cut role in 2020 NBA Draft

The Cleveland Cavaliers at this juncture with the NBA’s season on hiatus have the league’s second worst record at 19-46.

So, while it is anything but definitive with the newer lottery rules, Cleveland is currently projected to have the second overall selection in the 2020 NBA Draft, per Tankathon, and given that the Cavs are a bottom-three team at this time, they’d have tied for the highest odds (14.0 percent) of landing the top pick.

It’s hard to predict as to exactly what pick they’ll ultimately receive, and on Friday, given concerns regarding the novel coronavirus pandemic, the NBA announced that its’ draft lottery and draft combine, set to be in May, are postponed indefinitely, as was h/t Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.
