The Cavs coming back to prominence will come down to lower picks

If the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to return to prominence, the front office will need to nail their draft picks and have a good player development system. Yes it sounds very cliche saying a team has to draft well and develop guys well, but it’s the absolute truth, and if you look at how the Cavs became a championship-caliber team, it was kind of the perfect storm of events that helped turned them into a championship contender.

Winning the NBA Draft lottery three times in a four-year span and capitalizing on it, at least in terms of drafting Kyrie Irving, was a big help.
