The 2023 NBA Draft will look a little different from recent years for the Cleveland Cavaliers. For the first time since 2017, they don’t have a first-round pick.
Cleveland’s only draft pick this year comes in the second round at No. 49, and it won’t be much of a needle-mover. The right prospect could become a rotational player at a low cost; although more than likely, this player could either sign a two-way contract or be a draft-and-stash.
Last year, the Cavs had three second-rounders. They drafted Khalifa Diop at No. 39, Isaiah Mobley at No. 49 and Luke Travers at No. 56. Diop and Travers stayed overseas and are continuing their development. Mobley, who was on a two-way contract, played with the Cavs’ G League affiliate, the Cleveland Charge, as well as 12 games with the Cavs.
With the draft just one month away on June 22, let’s look at three options the Cavs could consider at No. 49.
