Have you ever seen Dan Gilbert? He's not exactly Wilt Chamberlain. Heck, he's not Allen Iverson.

As for his disease, he has neurofibromatosis. It's a disease that causes tumors to grow throughout the body. He also is partially blind in one eye.

He's a great kid and has a heck of a personality, just like his dad.

Gilbert's kid has some kind of affliction where he has tumors popping up on him constantly. He's been through chemo 4x's.

I don't like Kemba in the NBA game...not sure why, but he just doesn't pass the eye test with me. Kyrie at #1 and Diebler with the #4.

No way. You make sure you get Irving. Then get williams, kanter or someone else at 4

"Dear Dan Gilbert" on Facebook has the Cavs taking Irving #1, Leonard #4 with Kanter going to the Jazz at 3.

+1. The NBA is going the way of the PG now. You need one to compete with the Rondos, Pauls, etc

I agree.

I wouldnt have a problem with Leonard at #4 either. I would love to grab Irving and Kanter but I dont think Kanter will be there

Jimmer is my guy, but he isn't anywhere close to a top 4 talent

Just thinking they already have some good big men, some youth too and if they can't get Williams or Kanter you take the best available--doesn't hurt to have another shooter playing with a good point guard. I don't know that Irving will be a star but he could be, he's definitely going to be very good.

Rip is 6-7, Walker is 6-1. The wings in the NBA are too big for Walker to have success at the SG position. He'll have to play PG.

So are all expecting Williams and Kanter to go 2 and 3? If so, does that mean we will take one of those soft european players? I dont think Leonard is worth the 4th pick.

Nobodys worried about Kanter being like every other European Big man that was suppposed to come in and be good and flopped?

If I was a Cavs fan, I would be furious that they didn't trade down. However I don't think he will be a bad player. A poor man's Stephen Curry

You always have to worry about that. Kanter has played quite a bit against some of the top American kids out there. He put up like 30 and 14 when he played against Sully

Maybe, but there isn't shit in this draft other than Williams and Kyrie.

Honestly, any other year and Williams isn't a top 5 pick.

Have to go with Irving #1. He's definitely the most sure thing in the draft. Williams is good but no where near the safety of Irving. And Irving's ceiling is just as high. And you have Williams and Rondo in the East, the Heat who have a PG weakness and probably will for awhile, and Rose in your division. And maybe CP3 in the East too. And who knows what John Wall might be able to do if he ends up being able to play more. Gotta take Kyrie.

You take Kyrie Irving with the #1 pick.. No question about it.

Especially with Rose in Chicago.

Irving, at 6'3'' is quick as hell and can score from anywhere.

IMO, I'm a little worried about Derrick Williams. He's a tweener in my eyes. Not really a SF, not really a PF...

I dont know about that. The guy is a big man in college, who dominated, and hit like 45% of his 3 pt attempts. He is a special talent. You cant be upset with him or Irving. I think Williams will be a better pro, which is why Id take him...but I understand the need for a great PG as well. Kemba will be serviceable, but not All-Star material.

Maybe. That man gets off the ground though.
