After 3 seasons now, it doesn't look like that draft was all that great anyway.

No, because they could use guys like Gobert, and Noel..Oladipo and Giannis would be nice pieces as well. This draft might not have superstars except Giannis (maybe). But it has underrated guys who are all better than Bennett and can help Cavs

Hell, Otto Porter would be a great guy off the Cavs bench too

Hindsight is 20/20. Giannis was not going in anyone's top 10 back then. From what I remember, consensus was between Noel and oladipo. And Noel had the injury so he was a longshot.
They did reach for Benett though, he was projected around 4-8th pick.

i agree with this....no clear cut stars in this draft. its a wasted pick but its not like they are missing out on someone irreplaceable. also they won a title so its nothing to fret about :manny:

Said at the time that they should've taken Nerlens, torn ACL and all.

Nobody was gonna take Gobert #1 tho
True but can you imagine a guy like Gobert with Kyrie and Lebron on the team..when they attack, all they have to do is throw the ball up and he would help K Love on defense as well
