Who do you think will go first in the NBA Draft, and why?

If Noel, Varejou or Thompson would have to sit on the bench, but the bad thing about him is he won't be able to play till around Christmas.. McLemore , Just a name, I mean they already have Dion Waiters, but you never know they might trade or release someone? You never know. Or Otto Porter this makes pretty good sense, Their SF is the weak spot (Alonzo Gee) Even though I think Porter is barely in the talk of being #1 I think if they picked him it would be smart, Irving, Waiters, Porter, Thompson, Noel, Varejou, Good lineup! I say they will pick Nerlens Noel but I think they should pick Otto Porter! What do you think?

    I'd take McLemore over Noel any day. It's really risky to take Noel since he isn't fully recovered from his ACL injury and that could cut into the beginning of the season. It's a big gamble for Cleveland to take him but if they're willing to let him sit for about 1/2 the season then he has the potential to be great. I'd pick McLemore since I think he would be a great compliment to Irving. Varejou, Irving, and McLemore could be a terrific big 3 if they decide to take a SG first. But in today's world it's all about getting the person with the best talent instead of focusing on team needs.

    Nerlens Noel - I know he won't be able to play immediately for the Cavs but in the long run he's their best choice. 4 or 5 years from now Noel will be the best player over Alex Len or Otto Porter. I know the Cavs want someone who can contribute immediately but I think they'll realize that in the long run their much better off with Nerlens Noel.

    Noels easily. Look at the Cavs line up. They got two great, young guards with great potential. Now, they just need to work on the front court. With Tyler Zeller at center, Nerlens Noel could play power forward for them and then with the 19th pick, they could get a decent, small forward to add depth at the position. It would be great if they could get Shabazz Muhammad at that pick, but he's likely to go a bit higher around the 15th pick, so they'll have to go with someone like Tony Mitchell or Mason Plumlee, who both have good potential.

    Nerlens Noel because he's great at defense and he went to Kentucky University.
