Kentucky coach John Calipari wants the Cavs to draft former Wildcat Nerlens Noel with the top pick because "they haven't made mistakes."
Coach Cal was referring to Cleveland's drafting history under GM Chris Grant, which includes Kyrie Irving, Tristan Thompson, Tyler Zeller and Dion Waiters. Irving has developed into one of the point guards in the league while Thompson made major steps in his second season. Waiters and Zeller each showed flashes as rookies, although Waiters' ceiling is probably higher. Noel is rehabbing a torn ACL but is still projected to go in the top two in an overall weak draft. Although he lacks much offensive polish, Noel's defensive game would pair nicely with Thompson and Zeller and make the Cavs three deep at the four/five positions. Kansas SG Ben McLemore is another option if Cleveland keeps the top pick. May 23 - 2:36 PM
