Filling Out the Draft
June 20, 2012
Throughout the history of the Draft, there have been booms and busts all over the board – and that’s true of each of the four slots where Cleveland will be selecting.
In less than two weeks, will the Cavaliers choose a Serge Ibaka or a Dalibor Bagaric at No. 24? In the second round, can they land a Brandon Bass or a Mario Chalmers? Only time will tell.
