After the way Lebron James left Cleveland last year, it seemed like the Cavaliers were due for some good luck. They did get some, turning the LA Clippers first round pick that they got in the Baron Davis trade into a golden #1 pick.
The Clippers pick had 2.5 chances of being the top spot. But with Cavs' owner Dan Gibert's 14 year old son representing the franchise, Lady Luck smiled and the Cavs now get to choose who they will saddle with the "next LBJ" tag. Possible candidates are Kyrie irving of Duke and Derrick Williams of Arizona.
The Timberwolves were the sad losers once again, dropping to the second pick when they had a 25% chance of getting the top pick. Utah picks third, with the pick they got from new Jersy in the Deron Williams trade while the Cavs get another pick, this time their own. The Raptors round out the top five picks.
This is the second time in the last decade that the Cavs had a #1 draft pick. Of course, the last time they picked first, they got Lebron James and look at how that ended.
