The Cleveland Cavaliers are one of the most intriguing teams to watch heading into the 2019 NBA Draft, and already have one clear cornerstone for their rebuild in Collin Sexton. Question is, will he have any impact with who the Cavs elect to take at No. 5?

If so, and assuming they’re looking for a player that would fit alongside Sexton, there might not be a better fit than Jarrett Culver, who is coming off an impressively productive season at Texas Tech, which led him all the way to the NCAA National Championship.

Culver can defend multiple positions, can hit the 3 and has improved as an off-ball offensive player. Culver is the type of talent that could blossom alongside Sexton, which, together, could grow into one of the better backcourt combinations in a few years.
