The Cleveland Cavaliers have been unbelievably lucky with the NBA draft over the past few years. Since 2011, they have netted the No. 1 pick, No. 4 pick, No. 1 pick and another No. 1 pick this summer.
Unfortunately, not all of them have necessarily panned out as hoped, with Dion Waiters still trying to figure out what his role is in the league, while Anthony Bennett had one of the most forgettable seasons in NBA history for a No. 1 overall pick (for what it’s worth, he has looked like a different player in summer league action so far).
In comes Andrew Wiggins, a player many believe has the potential to become a great player down the line. He’s still incredibly young and will look to go through the growing pains of being a rookie come next season. Fortunately for him, he will no longer be relied upon to carry a heavy load with the Cavaliers since LeBron James is back in town.
That doesn’t mean everyone isn’t clamoring to see Wiggins in action during Summer League action, though, and owner Dan Gilbert was on hand to witness a glimpse of what’s to come on Monday:
