Cleveland Cavaliers (12-46)
It’s tough to grade a team like the Cleveland Cavaliers. Entering this season, there wasn’t many expectations placed on this team, especially after losing LeBron James during the off-season. With that said, the Cavs are on pace to finish as one of the three worst teams in the NBA, but the return of Kevin Love could hurt that.
Assuming that they do get a top 3 pick, though, they could get right back into the mix in the East. This is a top heavy draft, and if they get one of the top 3, they could have their next franchise player. Collin Sexton has been a bit of a disappointment this season, and the fact that this team could trade J.R. Smith or Tristan Thompson at the trade deadline was a disappointment too.
This team could be one the verge of a major facelift during the off-season, and, quite frankly, that might be the best course of action for this team.
