For the third time in 4 years the Cleveland Cavaliers win the NBA Draft Lottery.
”It seems surreal,” Cavs vice chairman Jeff Cohen said. ”This is three out of four years and we had a 1.7 percent chance of coming up with the first pick and we pulled it off again.”
Ok so that means what? It means you have to be godawful alot to win this. Since Lebron walked his way to Miami, Cleveland has been lottery bound. Can the trend finally stop after this draft for the Cavaliers?
2011 they drafted Kyrie Irving, and last year they drafted Anthony Bennett. This year there should be no excuses to get this right, it is too deep of a draft to miss from among Andrew Wiggins, Joel Embiid of Kansas, Duke’s Jabari Parker.
”This means everything,” Cohen said. ”This is the deepest draft arguably since LeBron (James) and Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh and Carmelo Anthony came out.”
”Rebuilding is a process and we lost a player a number of years back that it was going (to take) some time. Quite frankly it’s taken a little bit longer then we’d like, but we’ve been patient,” Cohen said.
”I think now is the time we’re going to reap the rewards of our patience.”
It’s time for Cleveland to finally put up or shut up , they have had every opportunity to turn this franchise around and make it very competitive.
No more excuses.
