Eleven Warriors

I like Waiters but not at 4. I like Zeller but not at the expense of 3 picks when we've got plenty of holes, no depth, and there's still some solid talent on the board. Hansbrough and Zeller are similar in that they both played at UNC and that's about it. Zeller is a true center at 7 feet +. I'd also say he's probably a better athlete than Hansbrough. Psycho T just had a relentless motor and was a total bull in a china shop. I'm hoping for things to work out but I just don't agree with the strategy. Hopefully Waiters turns into James Harden 2.0 (doubtful, but hopefully) and Zeller is just a reliable starter at C someday.

Like I said, I really do hope so.

the Cavs didnt want to go into camp with 4 rookies and 2 second year players. by trading up for Zeller they fill a need so hopefully Andy can play PF, where he has been more productive over the years. Irving and Waiters are a great young back court with some decent size. If Gee starts at SF im ok with it. Thompson off the bench is a great defensive presence. And Boobie is still a servicable gaurd off the bench...Kind of disappointed with them with free agency...

I hope your right. Just don't see the point in trading up for serviceable when you coulda stood pat and let a top 5 guy drop right in your lap. And who cares who Dallas got with those picks, there were some gems available and this is was widely considered a really strong draft. Thats when 2nd round picks gain value, keep em dammit.

Shot 50% and avg slightly more than Witers on a team that could of used a couple more balls to pass around and shoot. Had 3-4 players drafted

I am a little disappointed with the Cavs draft.  I think it was a reach for Waiters at 4, although I would have been ok with it had they traded back to say #7 and picked him up and other picks, assuming he was still on the board and we had a willing team to trade. The other thing was, the Cavs never brought in Waiters for a workout and if they were serious about this kid you would think they would have at least had him in for a visit.(Although they didn't work out Tristian Thompson last year either)

Zeller is a serviceable center, I don't think he will dominate a game, but the Cavs lacked a true big, and Zeller fits that build.  Plus Andy can now come off the bench where I believe he will be more effective in less minutes and maybe he can stay healthy.

I would give them a B-, I still think Waiters was a reach, but he does have potential. Zeller will be good, I hope for the best for this team.  Hopefully with Irving at point he can get more production out of these two and this draft will appear much better years down the road.  Remember OKC got panned for taking Russel Westbrook.

The one thing I keep hearing about Waiters is that he's impossible to cover off the dribble. Combine that with Irving's speed with and without the ball, and it's gonna take a special defense to stop the scoring. 

Zeller kind of ties in to me. An athletic big man, with so-so strength, length, blocking, and rebounding abilities, but one who is a versatile scorer, and runs the floor like no one else of his size out there. With the three of those guys on the floor, every stop means fast break scoring.

@Dbit, you have no idea how many of my friends said that and were dead serious. I liked the cavs draft overall, watched Waiters play multiple times dude can score with ease and I think could be a stud. Zeller adds the size the cavs need plus everything BuckI-8 said. I know some fans would have rather keep the picks instead of trading for Zeller, but the NBA draft isn't the NFL draft, late round picks aren't very valuable because more often then not they don't pan out.
