NBA Draft Grades 2016: Sixers, Nuggets Finally Get It Right
By Tony Webb
Cleveland Cavaliers
Draft Picks: Kay Felder No. 54
The defending NBA champs will secure King James returning next year…and the next…and the next. When it came to the draft, the Cavs had zero picks, but in the 2nd round dealt for Felder, who lead the NCAA in assists and was 4th in scoring.
Anytime anyone sees that plus adding to the mix with LeBron and the defending champs, people will jump at the chance to say Felder will be the steal of the draft. Impressive stats aside, his size is a concern and his NBA readiness is in the question. He will go in as a role player who could slide into the rotation for scoring purposes.
Felder, in the 2nd round is of nice value.
Grade: B
Next: Dallas Mavericks
