3. Cleveland Cavaliers (via Brooklyn) – Michael Porter Jr., F, Missouri
Should the Cleveland Cavaliers jump into the top 3, as they did in this scenario, it would be absurd if they didn’t take the player with the highest upside still on the board.
While I know many prefer a player like Marvin Bagley here, I believe the Cavs should take the risk on Michael Porter Jr. Cleveland has the luxury of taking a stab here, especially considering that LeBron James still hasn’t made up his mind on what he’s going to do this summer in free agency.
Porter Jr. has the opportunity to be a special player at the next level, even though he was limited during his college years. Cleveland shouldn’t pass up the opportunity to hit on this type of generational talent.
