With the 14th Pick in the 2022 NBA Draft ...

[jjvors]

Draft grade: F.

I don't think I've ever given that grade before, and the Cavs have had some pretty bad drafts.

Worse than Anthony Bennett? I can't believe that.

While I won't disagree the Cavaliers lost last night as my snap reaction. How does this dude have a job? He calls Ochai a good player but says he doesn't fit because he's a big and we have Mobley and Allen.

trash article lol

Getting mad over 2nd round picks is weird. Mobley who I didn't want at least has NBA skills. Who cares about the draft and stash. And who knows what's up with the Aussie. But crying over the 49th pick and 56th pick is weird. At 39 maybe Altman sees something long term and he actually comes over down the line. Be mad over Ochai. Being mad over late 2nd rounders is weird.

I’m mad at spending 1.7 million for one! Having AND using three second rounders is a waste of resources. You use three seconds to move back into the first round or package them in a trade. Don’t play some “shell game” or “draft and stash”!
I wanted Ochai…so I’m not mad about that!

Unless your Dan Gilbert you didn't spend any money on the pick. I think they tried to trade backup and it didn't work out. It happens. But again it's 2nd round picks it's not a big deal.

From Fedor about Griffin

Teams were reportedly concerned about his medicals as well.

If they wanted to please the fans, they shouldn’t have taken a developmental stash center at 39 with better SF’s on the board.

Hell I would have been happier with Ron Harper Jr than Diop!

I'm torn on whether he's the next Thunder Dan Majerle or Kurt Rambis. That mullet almost makes him look faster than he really is. I'm certain they took him just to please us fans.

He’s more likely to open a restaurant in Phoenix than he is tin play in the nba.

Actually since he's technically been drafted. It's more likely he makes the NBA then opens a restaurant in Phoenix since he will likely never step foot in Phoenix unless he gets to the NBA.

There is a PGA golfer named Cameron Smith who looks just like this guy including the mullet. Of course the golfer is probably about a foot shorter.

My wife and I watch golf and have nicknames for many of the golfers. Due to his awful mullet, we call him "Floribama Cam".

Gary Assorted Woodland Creatures is one of my favorites.

CBS gave the Cavs an A in this draft.

14. Ochai Agbaji, G, Kansas 39. Khalifa Diop, C, Senegal 49. Isaiah Mobley, F, USC 56. Luke Travers, F, Australia Cleveland should get an A on draft night solely for drafting Isaiah Mobley and pairing him with his brother, Evan, who they drafted last year. That was awesome. But I also liked the Cavs' draft in totality, too. Ochai Agbaji at 14 fits a need and has a clear path to playing time right away. And Diop and Travers are both really interesting developmental prospects. Don't think either will be contributors right away, but if they develop into something down the road then you've struck gold, given how hard it is to find value in second-round picks. Grade: A (Boone) I have a lot of respect for Koby's decisions, but it is nice to see other(s) in agreement.

 

[cabs]

Let’s be honest. Koby played the field. He tricked okc into thinking we were interested in Dieng so they’d draft some lanky uncoordinated kid who struggled to score a point in Australia so that our guy Ochai fell to us. Well played Koby, well played.

Pray for Tari, couldn’t have landed in a worse spot for an NBA ready prospect. Won’t see the ball with those ball hog guards over in Houston and will be the only one playing defense.

Jabari Smith also plays defense. The Rockets forward combo potentially looking scary good defensively with Eason and Smith.

Rockets should dump Porter jr, he’s talented but not good enough to justify how toxic he is
