Which player should the Cavaliers draft No. 1 overall ?

[LoCalDallasGuy]

I think that Wiggin's lack mental toughness and aggressiveness especially for the SG position. Parker game reminds me of Melo's and I personally do not like Melo's style.

Embidd is interesting.

Smart may turn out to be the best NBA player.

Reminds me of J.R. Smith in many ways.

I'm hoping Embiid falls to my Bucks at #2. Best player in the draft. Wiggins has potential but is a few years away. Parker will be above average but I don't see him being a star. 15-20 PPG scorer over his career. Embiid has potential to be a force down low and only injury concerns will keep him out of the top spot. Hopefully he falls and Bucks roll the dice. I'm also hearing good things about Exum who is another project.

Embidd feels like an Oden to me but it's tough, he holds up and it's gotta be the pick. Yes Parker is the right now pick but the Cavs ain't doing anything right now. I'd go with Wiggins for potential, hope he pans out and Lebron calls back.

You are hearing from whom, the same people that said Ricky Rubio would be great?

I'm not sold on him being a great player. Just that a lot of teams like his quickness/dribbling ability. Rising up draft boards.

I'm personally most excited to see the kid from Australia play. No I wouldn't take him #1 but has a ton of raw talent from the limited tape I've seen. Could still be a bust...

As a sixer fan im hoping for Parker....I dont want any part of wiggins or embiid.

Parker is a complete defensive liability. He is like a traffic cone on D. He can't guard the 3's and the 4's would abuse them.

Even so, this is the nba....defense is not a high priority. With Noel and 5 second rounders, a ton of money under the cap.....maybe they can get parker some help when he has trouble guarding. They need at least one guy they can give the ball to that can score.....their current rosters of d-leaguers doesn't allow that.

He isn't Carmelo. Defense may not be a priority, but this Duke product will get abused for 30 every night. They should trade their 2nd round picks for a 1st rounder.

i dont really agree.......30 a night is not likely. The stars like lebron and melo put those numbers up against most teams....but not many past that will do that to him nightly.

nba teams don't put a real premium on 2nd round picks......prob have to use thad young with 2nd rounders to move up.

If you packge it to a team that isn't looking to make too much of a change to their roster.

What team would make that deal? 2nd round draft picks are almost worthless in the NBA. Yes, you can name 3 or 4 that worked out but most would agree after the 1st round, it is junk. "With the 46th pick in the NBA draft, the Philadelphia 76ers select Leret Seray Pupalufucous- Forward from Greece"

I agree completely. 2nd round picks are garbage.
