Who Could the Cleveland Cavaliers Pick in Round 2 of the NBA Draft?

On this episode of Locked On Cavs, Danny Cunningham (The Inside Shot, 92.3 The Fan, Cleveland Magazine) examines the Cleveland Cavaliers' options in the upcoming NBA Draft, focusing on potential second-round picks. He analyzes prospects like Chris Bosh and Jameer Watkins, discussing the benefits of draft-and-stash strategies for a championship-contending team. Cunningham explores recent trades by the New Orleans Pelicans, suggesting they might be prime targets for future Cavaliers' trade negotiations. The host draws parallels between the Cavs and the Oklahoma City Thunder, considering the concept of team readiness for championship contention. He touches on player development, particularly for Evan Mobley and Darius Garland, and reflects on how their playoff experience might shape their growth in the coming year.
