The Cleveland Cavaliers know the importance of the point guard position. Taking Kyrie Irving first overall gave them the future co-star to LeBron James, a player who would hit the biggest shot in Cavaliers franchise history.

Perhaps seeking to replicate that return, they took a point guard with their first lottery pick post-LeBron James. Collin Sexton was the eighth overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. One year later the Cavaliers went back to the well, taking Darius Garland with the fifth overall pick.
