With things certain to change before tonight's NBA Draft, it’s impossible to predict what spot the Cavaliers will pick from. Instead of a mock draft, I'm listing the available players in a few different categories based on how I think their NBA careers are going to turn out.
I abstained from voting on foreign players aside (with the exception of Brandon Jennings and Ricky Rubio) as well as those lesser-known college players. I'm not going to pretend like I've seen a lot of Central Florida's Jermaine Taylor. UCF isn't on ESPN, so I don't see them play.
The rest of these guys, I've seen play on TV and feel (somewhat) confident in grading their games.
As a Duke fan, it pains me to give credit where credit is due to the class coming out of Chapel Hill this year. They were a terrific team, but individually I am of the belief that they had a couple of guys who could have been stars at different schools.
Without further ado:
