Exactly.Nepotism or not...I don't hate the pick, but I actually wouldn't have got him specifically because it is Evan's brother. It's literally a distraction to Evan.
What if Isaiah literally never gets any meaningful playing time, only some humiliating garbage time minutes? I mean... this is Evan's big brother, whom he presumably loves and respects. What if it starts getting embarrassing for them both? The role of a victory cigar is not easy, particularly when you're older than many of the rotation players. What then?
IMO this was a tremendously unwise decision that the Cavs will come to regret. It's obvious that Isaiah will not sniff the rotation. Again, he's not an NBA talent. And because the nepotism factor is always out in the open, any minutes he actually gets will be marked with an asterisk, which could harm the chemistry of the team.
Why create this distraction? I don't get it. Evan doesn't need his brother on the roster – he's in line for a humongous 2nd contract anyway, and he will sign it whatever happens.
