NBA Mock Draft 4.0: Bulls, Magic jump into top 3; Cade Cunningham falls
4. Cleveland Cavaliers – Jalen Green, G, G League
The Cleveland Cavaliers may not be short on talent, but they simply haven’t been able to put it all together to be a relevant team in the East. That said, taking a player such as Jalen Green could be the key to this team taking a step in the right direction next season.
Green is an athletic wing that showcased the ability to score at will during his lone season in the G League. Green is still considered somewhat of a raw prospect and, like many players selected at this point in the draft, it’s his long-term potential that makes drafting him promising.
Green would give the Cavs a star-caliber player and some legitimacy if he can perfectly fit with Collin Sexton and Darius Garland.
