The 2023 NBA Draft is not one that’s going to lead to a ton of initial fireworks for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Cleveland does not have a first-round pick in next month’s draft, as that selection is currently set to go to the Indiana Pacers, by way as part of the prior Caris LeVert trade. The Cavaliers are also largely devoid of first-round picks in several drafts in years ahead, because of the Donovan Mitchell trade with the Utah Jazz last offseason. In fairness, that deal did give Cleveland a phenomenal player who made Second Team All-NBA this season, and he’s one of the best scoring guards in the league.
