Phoenix Suns: Post-Lottery Mock Draft
By Kenny Glenn
#5: Cleveland Cavaliers | James Wiseman
Cleveland is a tough call as they need defense, a wing, and a center of the future. Okoro should be the pick here, but the team will lose Andre Drummond next year and should let Tristan Thompson walk and use his money for a wing this year.
With the 5th pick in the draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers select center James Wiseman from Memphis.
Wiseman is a 7’1″, 247-pound center, but he is very raw. He has a nice stroke that should turn into a short reliable jumper. He has a very nice touch on his baby hook and is a monster on defense which the 21st ranked Cavs need badly.
Comparable: I would say in time Myles Turner without shooting range.
