I’d be furious if they drafted either of these G League ceiling guys.
“20. Cleveland Cavaliers
Givony's pick that fills the biggest need: Kyle Filipowski | Duke | C | Age: 20.5
Having another skilled big man to play between Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen could be interesting from a lineup perspective for the Cavs, since neither player offers much floor spacing. Filipowski's ability to handle, pass and shoot is difficult to come by at 7-foot, and pairing the No. 21 ranked prospect in ESPN's Top 100 alongside another rim-protector could help alleviate concerns around his defensive profile.
Woo's pick that gets the best value: Edey
Edey comes off the board first for me here at No. 20 out of a group of three centers, all of whom bring different things to the table but project optimistically at a somewhat similar level. Edey is unique enough to take a chance on him — I love his toughness and mentality — and he's more polished than the two centers I slotted after him.”

They gotta draft somebody right?
Everyone talks about how ass this draft is so I don’t think it’s worth being *furious* about whatever they do.
Unless of course this draft isn’t the assiest draft of all time like the internet has me believing.
Darrion Holmes or Da Silva is who we need
they are drafting 20th… in a terrible class.
guys get picked 2nd and don’t make it or even 1st (Bennett)
At 20 we are getting a very fringe starter/ bench player. We should just take best available, whether that be Edey of Filipowski
I actually like Edey as a matchup big, especially if we trade Allen
Might as well draft bronny
Uhhh what? Those would be solid picks. We have zero big depth whatsoever.
You’re being triggered over a mock draft? On the 20th pick? In a widely considered bad draft? Really?
Filipowski is a good prospect and he is who I would take at 20. I think he’s a very nice fit as a 3rd big next to Mobley and Allen. Has range and passing ability. Perfect compliment to the two bigs we already have.
I’m hoping they pull a Jaylen Brown and skip on Cody Williams because he’s “too smart”. Nice upside, good person, valuable height and shooting, just maybe we could do something 🙏
From what I’ve seen: Da Silva, Holmes, McCullar, Tyson, Djurusic, Missi, Ware are all guys I think could be good picks at 20.
Haven’t looked at Filipowski, but Edey is so slow, I don’t think he can be a guy in the NBA.
