With the Luol Deng experiment with the Cleveland Cavs nearing a quick ending due to mutual disinterest, the Cavs may be looking to the 2014 NBA Draft to find their small forward of the future.

According to Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, the top two available in the draft are Duke's Jabari Parker and Kansas' Andrew Wiggins. However, as Pluto states, the Cavs may be more focused on small forwards projected in the middle of the first round -- perhaps landing on N.C. State's T.J. Warren: "The Cavs have often watched T.J. Warren, who averaged 24.9 points and 7.1 rebounds while shooting .524 for N.C. State."

While Pluto sees Creighton's Doug McDermott as perhaps a better fit, he worries that McDermott will most likely be gone before the Cavs are on the clock.

If the Cavs are to pick Warren, they will have to work with Warren's "nightmare" jump shot -- which includes a fade away and a bit of a hitch in his shooting motion. However, his impressive ability to attack the rim may be more than enough to make him a Cav come draft time.
