Tristan Thompson And The Value of First Round Picks

At 4-6, the Cleveland Cavaliers are off to a better start than many have predicted. They are a feisty group, playing hard and playing for each other. While they will likely keep their top-ten protected first-round pick (which goes to the New Orleans Pelicans if they do not), the Cavs have looked competent on both ends, as well as quite well-coached. It’s certainly a far better team that the one we saw for the majority of last season. Just take a look at this chart from NBA Math.

The question is, how long will this team stay together?
