The Cleveland Cavaliers have known for a month now that they’ll have to settle for the fifth pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, at least if they stand pat with their first selection at least, but while not ideal that doesn’t mean they can’t find a a blue chip player for their future.
It’s been mentioned by KJG contributors before if the Cavs are going to get back to prominence they’ll have to do a better time this time around making savvy front office moves and finding talent when you don’t have the first pick (or the top few picks), like they did three times in four years the last time they underwent a rebuild post-LeBron James free agency departure.
