MKG is #2 on the Cavs draft board. There was never any buzz about the Cavs liking him as much as Barnes, because it didn't look like he would be available at #4.

Where did you hear that from?

I remember reading a few months ago that the Cavs loved two players in the draft, Davis and MKG.

Makes sense..I always said like CC that yeah Kyrie is cool with Barnes but he actually was teammates with MKG. And MKG will be loyal to Cleveland and not worry about a brand.

Haven't followed a lot of the rumors this year or checked out many mocks, but my feeling right now -

1. NOH - Anthony Davis
2. CHA - Harrison Barnes
3. WAS - Bradley Beal
4. CLE - Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
5. SAC - Thomas Robison
6. POR - Andre Drummond
7. GSW - Dion Waiters
8. TOR - Jeremy Lamb
9. DET - John Henson
10. NOH - Meyers Leonard
11. POR - Damian Lillard
12. MIL - Tyler Zeller
13. PHX - Austin Rivers
14. HOU - Perry Jones III

In the continuing draft circuit, I'm told Kansas F Thomas Robinson had his way w/ UConn C Andre Drummond in a Cleveland workout today (No.2)

Heard the same thing as @sam_amick that Thomas Robinson was impressive in Cleveland. "Ferocious" was the word used by one source. #NBADraft

That's my PF..We are a package deal

Not really a surprise...

Philly drafts T-Rob or Kansas wins the NC game next year, you can only choose one, which one is it?

National title..No challenge

But Philly is guaranteed a Finals victory in T-Rob's 4th year in the league now...

I heard Austin rivers isn't making it past 10 but other than that I mostly agree with this.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Top 9 i agree
Rivers at #10
Meyers 12, Zeller 14
Ross #13

I can see that. Guess I wasn't figuring Rivers to New Orleans with Eric Gordon there, but maybe they can play together.

Sam Amick

Several reports have poor workouts and a weak motor causing UConn center Andre Drummond's stock to fall in pre-draft workouts.
Sam Amick wrote on Twitter Wednesday night, "In the continuing draft circuit, I'm told Kansas F Thomas Robinson had his way w/ UConn C Andre Drummond in a Cleveland workout today (No.2)." This is not the first report we've heard of Drummond's stock dropping rapidly, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him fall next Thursday, although he still looks like a first-round pick.

 

[elcheato]

Not that I didn't expect a more polished player to show him up in workouts, the report is coming out of Cleveland, where the Cavs are hoping someone in front of them takes Robinson. Food for thought.
