JR is going to be good. Unlike many leapers, he has range to boot. The Cavaliers wanted a player who "could contribute right away" and it seemed to me that was their excuse not to take a high school player. This class was strong, so if Cleveland did their scouting, they would have known Smith and others can ball.
I was hoping Cleveland would try and find somebody to trade down with (trade the 10 pick in hopes of 2 late 1st round picks and use them both on high schoolers).

Paxson is not that smart.
Remember he was trying to deal our #10 pick to Boston for Jiri Welsch this past offseason.

Uggh: Pax is a loser. I still Jackson think will be a solid player. I like his size and athletecism combined with his shooting.
But have to agree with Remy23 with two lower picks we could have got Al Jefferson and Jr Smith. Could have been a power house.
The Welsch pickup is looking more and more like a big fat dud. Sasha already cost us a first round pick and is showing a lot more. Jiri looks like a waster. Next year I want to see only Sasha or Luke around.

I think Sasha is the closest thing the Cavs have to the third scorer they've been looking for. They just need to play him. When he is playing with confidence he is worth the pick the Cavs traded.
I thought Welsch looked the best he has since coming here. But I think it was pure short sighted stupidity to trade for him given what the Cavs already have.

I can't even imagine getting Jefferson and Jr Smith in the same draft. We would have had everything but the PG position set for the next decade.
