Draft Preview: Cleveland Cavaliers Author: Staff Report Publication: NBA.com
Cleveland Cavaliers 2019 Draft Picks: 5, 26 2018-19 record: 19-63 Fifth place,
Central Division Did not qualify for playoffs
Areas of Strength The Cavaliers spent much of the 2018-19 season shuffling and
re-shuffling their roster, making moves not for immediate results on the court
— you see their record, right? — but as a way for GM Koby Altman to round up
assets for their rebuild. That strategy could continue, given some of the heavy
contracts still on the payroll, though you’d think Cleveland wouldn’t want to
push any extended “Process” on fans who’d grown accustomed to better times.
Point guard Collin Sexton, the Cavs’ lottery pick last June, did well after a
shaky start, landing on the All-Rookie second team.
Needs Work This team isn’t close to winning and the roster has more salary-cap
jammers than youthful prospects. As far as basketball, the Cavaliers ranked near
the bottom of most offensive categories beyond 3-point and free-throw shooting
percentages. New coach John Beilein, making a deep-career jump from the
University of Michigan, presumably will spend a lot more time trying to teach
than trying to win. – CLICK HERE to read full story.
