Isaiah Mobley seems like a no-brainer. He has skills & is the older brother of our budding young superstar. Thoughts?
 
Other. John Butler Florida State.

Also LaRavia and Nembhard are being mentioned as fringe 1st rounders now. Neither will make it to the end of the 2nd round.
 
Didn't want to keep rehashing this in the wrong pick thread, but if we do keep this pick, Isiah Mobley is a no brainer to me. Has a valuable skillset that could be useful in the NBA long term. Evan's brother. You keep your superstar happy by signing his older brother, his little sister, or his grandma. If Cedi gets annoyed by this, I dont care.
 
Love that Juzang has juice in this poll...
 
I think it's really hard to predict who is going to be there at #56. Once you get into the second round teams can be using so many different metrics or a single attribute can make a team want a player. Talent is pretty obvious when talking about top 20 picks usually. After that it just seems so much about preferences and how the organization or scouts have seen these types of player develop into NBA players.

I dont know if any organization has a track record of finding good players in the 40's, 50's, or undrafted. Typically the players that organizations hit on in the second round are in the 30's.

We did trade for NBA champion and former 56th pick Sasha Kaun!
 
Thinking this through as I type...

If Mobley is there at #58/56, is there any benefit to giving him a *wink wink* deal and make him a priority UDFA instead? I haven't studied the new CBA, but could there be a benefit to free agency instead of 2nd round pick? I ask for the idea of making a draft and stash selection at #58/56, while also adding Mobley for "now".

As mentioned, just thinking this through. Thoughts welcomed.

Between your love of thicc bois and loving "Juzang juice', we may need to put in a call to your Misses to give her a heads up about the down low...

As predicted... This is the thread! Worrying about the lottery and #39 is history.

HOT FIRE.

My guess is that someone drafted will get a higher signing bonus than an undrafted player.

I think the risk of letting a player go into the undrafted pool is that he can be recruited by any team and who know what they will say to get him to sign. Someone might offer Isaiah a two way spot but also say he has a real shot at making the 15 man roster. Then point to the roster spots the Cavs have available and the depth we have with our bigs.
