The Cleveland Cavaliers and general manager Koby Altman/the front office had a busy night Thursday with the 2019 NBA Draft, and they ultimately acquired three players from that.
That included selecting Vanderbilt’s Darius Garland fifth overall, Belmont’s Dylan Windler 26th overall and then through a reported trade with the Detroit Pistons, Cleveland went all-in on a player they seemingly believed could be a big addition for their rotation in the coming years in USC’s Kevin Porter Jr. 30th overall.
As far as acquisitions by the Cavaliers of players that did not end up getting drafted, that was ultimately Kansas State’s Dean Wade via two-way deal, as was reported by Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes, and Duke’s Marques Bolden, as was reported by HoopsHype’s Alex Kennedy, and Cleveland signed Villanova’s Phil Booth to a Summer League deal, per The Athletic and Stadium’s Shams Charania.
