Fukkin Cavs

Shocking pick.

A career bench player with #4 pick lmao

[ChalkyDog]

Yep, the screwed up.

Could have had the perfect fit in T-Rob.

Last year the discussion was Kyrie or D. Will... they made the right choice and went with Kyrie.

This year, they had another chance to grab a top 2 talent, at the exact same position, and with a very similar game - and they failed again.

Jesus.

[NYSportsGuy210]

I like the pick. Waiters looks like Baron Davis out there.

[paco]

Robinson woulda been a perfect big man in there.

Hey will regret this for a long time

[Fieldysnuts44]

Wish they picked Robinson,fukking guys a monster.Thank Jebus for Vodka and Percocet,makes it easier to be Cleveland fan.

Yep.

I wasn't in their war room, but my guess is they passed on him because Tristan Thompson plays the same position as Robinson.

[paco]

Speedy, if they wanted a scoring guard, don't u think Lamb out of Uconn would been a better fit? Kid won a championship and plays tuff

Not a fan of Tristan. Thought it was a bad pick then. Still do.

[seaborneq]

Two top four picks and Cavs don't even get a solid starter in Waiter and Thompson. Might as well let LeBron draft for them.

[Fieldysnuts44]

IMO Robinson a lot tuffer inside player than Tristan Thompson

[Speedy88]

Not a fan of Tristan. Thought it was a bad pick then. Still do.

Agreed, if he were in this years draft he would probably be a late lottery pick. Only reason why he went so high was because last years draft was trash.

[Ratpack]

no why would they have gotten t robinson there when they got tristian thompson at that position last year they should of gotten harrison barnes there a shooter so irving would have someone to kick out too

[Fieldysnuts44]

Wait til next year

[BigDeem5]

Waiters will be rookie of year

[Speedy88]

Why is everyone talking about Rivers to the Hornets. Rivers and Gordon in the backcourt will be like Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry. A ton of fire power, but they won't win anything together. Neither of them want to play defense, and both are very undersized.

[Ratpack]

yeah rivers is like an undersized westbrook who isnt as explosive at the rim

[Fieldysnuts44]

Portland with the white boy

[Darkside Magick]

My team is so stupid......t-rob is sitting there and they pick a fuckin guard...smhhhhhhh

[Cuse4tw]

Come on paco u should be a little smarter then calling him a career bench player....kid would come off the bench within the first four minutes of tipoff. used him as the spark to ignite the rest of the team.And lamb instead of waiters....that's just silly

[Ratpack]

cavs just got zeller so next year they have zeller thompson irving and waiters not a bad future

[ProfaneReality]

Waiters is explosive... being a 6th man is arbitrary.. he still played starters minutes.. maybe lets see him play a year or two before we call this pick terrible. He was projected to go 7th-10th. 4th is not a big reach, especially if he is your guy.

Cavs are also 20 million under the cap... they can get good fast through trades. They have 2 1st rounders again next year, potentially 3 if the Kings aren't in the lottery.

[zam77]

The more I analyze it, the more I like the pick... The Cavs need someone else on the floor that wants to make game changing shots and has the predisposition to attack without fear or thought. Guy very much reminds me of a russell westbrook type player. I think he fills a huge scoring need and will be an awesome compliment to Irving. There simply was not another player similar to him as far as a fearless, big time shot taker perspective goes. He has a cockiness and swag to him that others did not and I like it. Hope he lives up to the expectations.

[ThaTopMoron]

they got Zeller, Cavs did good

Cavs will prove you all wrong and someone will bump this thread in under 2 years with one of these

[lakerboy]

Nba draft is a crapshoot. Most of these players stink.

[bb_skoots]

I dont get this pick at all.

edit: college stats: 44 pct fg , 9.7 ppg

[Speedy88]

I think it's a pretty good draft this year. Last years draft was horrible, might have been one of the worst drafts of all time.

[therushishere]

Waiters does have somewhat of a throwback game I could see meshing the tempo well with Irving.

And I do like the concept of having a defensive, team-oriented, tall center who works hard and runs the floor.

Plus he is loyal to his programs the becomes involved with. Waiters also from a working class city. Better odds that they dont bounce or keep big time FAs at bay.

I have been drinking a little though.

My thoughts exactly. If they gotten beal, AWESOME, having in mind he wasn't available, it was either waiters or barnes. I would've likely chosen Barnes, but Waiters this season was far more consistent and he plays with an edge and competitiveness that Barnes doesn't... let alone Jeremy Lamb who shouldn't even be mentioned in the conversation.

With this said, I was saying Waiters was going to be a great player even before he made it out to Syracuse, and I still think they should've taken Barnes instead. I can live with it though, and I wouldn't be shocked if Waiters ended the season as a top 3 rookie.

Zeller = Career bench Warmer

[jbart28]

Waiters is a beast. He can get his own shot and is explosive. Great pick

AND THIS ONE is just absudly INSANE

[Cuse0323]

Another video to add for fun, one of his best dunks and it was in HS, plus Ronald McDonald is there. It has it all.

With Anthony Davis and another quality defensive power forward, you dont need to play defense...just score


I did kinda want to see Drummond fall one more spot to the Hornets at ten because him and Davis could have been one of the greatest big man duos ever if Drummond can learn to control his size and athleticism

[Ralphie1412]

Everyone talks about kyrie Irving but that was a slam dunk pick. I called the night of the draft tristain was the worst 4 pick ever. Then they take waiters!?!?!?
