Grading the Last 5 Cavs 1st Round Picks #nba #nbadraft #cavaliers
Let’s grade the last five Cleveland Cavaliers first round picks. Then the 20th pick in the 2024 draft, they selected Jaylen Tyson at a cow. I’m just going to give this pick a neutral C. Tyson didn’t play a lot in his rookie year given that Cavs team was pretty deep and they won 64 regular season games. They had that really good scoring game against the Pelicans and I think Tyson could be more involved in 2026. So they didn’t own a 2023 first from the Donovan Mitchell tradein. Their 2022 first round pick was actually traded to Utah and that was Osher Baji who turned out to be a solid player in this league, but I’m not going to grade that pick since he never played for the Cavs. So, we’re going to go to the 2021 draft now and they had the third overall pick and they are very happy that Houston passed off on him at number two. So, they got Evan Mobley at number three. He just went defensive player of the year. One of the best young players in the league overall. I got to give him an A+. Not going to be as kind to them. On the night of the 2020 draft, they selected Isaac Aoro, the wing out of Auburn with the fifth overall pick. It isn’t the best top 10 in the world, but guys like Anyaka, Kungwu, Devel, Denny of Dia would have been better picks for Cleveland at five. So, I’m going to give this pick a C minus. They just traded him for Lonzo Ball, but a lot better of a pick here. They had the fifth overall pick on the night of the 2019 NBA draft and they selected Darius Garland out of Vanderbilt. I’m giving this pick an A+ cuz he is not far behind guys you’d want to take long term than Zion Williamson, John who were the first two picks and he’s been one of the better point guards in the NBA over the last few years. And they also the 26th pick on the night of the 2019 draft. They selected Dylan Windler out of Belmont. Unfortunately, I do have to give this pick an F given that Jordan Pool, Kellan Johnson, and Kevin Porter Jr.

We drafted Kevin porter with the last pick of the 1st too
They drafted KPJ too and he slipped that far bc of off the court issues in college, which proved to be true during his time with the Cavs
Suns pls
The best part about drafting okoro was getting zo
Yes finally 🎉
Okoro just never developed enough offensively. Loved his effort on defense, but way too one-dimensional. Too small to guard a lot of threes, doesn’t score enough to be a two guard. Just a weird tweener that should have never been a lottery pick in hindsight.
