It was yet another great season for the Cleveland Cavaliers as they went to the NBA Finals for the second straight year. Cleveland finally got over the hump and won the NBA title over the Golden State Warriors in the rematch from a year ago. The NBA Draft coming up on June 23, Cleveland will be looking to draft another young player to grow around LeBron James and company.
James is technically a free agent this summer and he could decide to leave Cleveland for a second time after having led his hometown team to their elusive NBA title. However there is a strong possibility that James will stay in town just for the hopes to repeat as champions during the 2016-17 season. There are other pieces that are free agents as well in JR Smith and Richard Jefferson with their experience so it will be worth seeing how that changes the Cleveland draft plan whether that may be.
When the Cavaliers do get a chance to draft, they are going to be looking to add a quality defender along with some help at shooting guard and small forward. It would appear that James would be a better spot if he played power forward and allowed the team to get another wing option. The key will be finding out where they get that option from in the draft.
