The last 3 seasons the team with the 11th pick has had 36 wins during the regular season. The Cavs had 19 wins this past season and I have to think, with a healthy Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, & John Henson, they can push towards or surpass 36 wins.
Additionally, the new draft lottery also levels the playing field and makes it easier for teams to claim a top 4 pick, as the Lakers did from 11th spot recently. It’s not far-fetched at all to think the Cavs could lose that pick to Atlanta.
I disagree, unless Love plays a whole season and is close to an All-NBA type player, and Sexton is a board line All Star I don't see this team crossing the 30 win mark. Look at the other teams in the lottery, do you really think adding a top 5 pick, puts us above 9 to 10 teams?
