They don't even have to be 1/4 as good as Lebron, they just have to become the face of the Cavs and get into the playoffs within 3 years.

How many PGs dominate the way Kyrie did in a tough conference then fail in the NBA?

He didn't participate in conference play

When  was the last time a team with the point guard as their best player won the championship? Over 20 years ago when 1990 when Isiah Thomas led the Pistons to back to back championships.

Chauncey won the NBA Finals MVP but its debatable if he was the absolute best player on that team. Hamilton and Wallace were at the same level as him. Even if we say Chauncey was best player thats one time in 20 plus years. Dominant bigs and wings are far more common on championship teams.

I do. Will take some work on the defensive end, though. He can shoot it, which will help him.

@ Williams being hextra humble this time around when talking about why he should be the #1 pick.

Just sounds crazy to me to be drafting a 6'7" PF that'll need some teaching before being able to guard multiple positions let alone play the 3.

What kind of socks and shoes are these guys wearing?

He's 6'9 w/ shoes on. Who cares what he measures in w/o socks on.

I just didn't see enough perimeter skills at all form D.Will to see a smooth transition to the 3.  I'm sure with time he can do it provided he can shoot but in terms of being able to put it on the floor and make a move not right now at least.

Kanter stood up the Jazz, Raptors and Bucks when he was supposed to interview for them.

Thoughts:

Didn't expect Kyrie to turn in at almost 6'4, same for DWill at 6'9
How is Leonard being 6'7 a bad thing, Chad Ford??
Notice that Leonard and Faried have the SAME exact measurements, except one is going to be a 2/3 and the other will be a 4.
Jordan Williams at 6'9 underwhelms me.
Didn't think Justin Harper was so short at 6'9 & didn't think Jordan Hamilton was almost 6'9
It's under the radar but Nolan Smith measuring at almost 6'4 has to help his stock a little bit no?
