As the draft is sneakily coming up in the next 10 days or so, the Cleveland Cavaliers continue to navigate a pivotal offseason during the rebuild. Getting a bit of lottery luck, the Cavs ended up with the third overall pick. Although still not in draft position for the consensus top player in Cade Cunningham (C:tB profile here), the possibility of drafting Jalen Green, Jalen Suggs, or Evan Mobley still puts Cleveland in a much better position of the rebuild.
With a lot of speculation from national media types (like Kevin O’Connor’s recent article) that teams are planning for the Houston Rockets to select the athletic and talented wing in Jalen Green, the tea leaves are pointing for Evan Mobley from USC to be the likely pick for the Cavs.
