Cavaliers Organized Tough Workout
Owning the fourth overall pick in a draft that will be incredibly fluid, Cleveland worked out a number of players. Among the elite prospects, they worked out Barnes, Beal, Drummond and Kidd-Gilchrist. Two of those players mentioned the workout as the most difficult of the circuit.
“It was real competitive. Harrison Barnes is a great player,” Beal said. “We went after each other. We both had a great workout. The way they ran it in Cleveland was very competitive, a bunch of one-on-one and two-on-two stuff. Shooting and conditioning as well, it was fun to compete like that.”
Not surprisingly, Barnes touched on the same battle.
“Cleveland was my hardest workout by far, we really got after it. It was a bunch of grinders, guys like Bradley Beal.”
Given the apparent battle Barnes and Beal waged in front of Cleveland’s brass, things will get interesting if both are on the board when it’s their turn to pick.

I think I saw the Cavs are interested in him, but not at #4

If I was that much of a homer I would be saying the same about Kris Joseph and Scoop Jardine (won't get drafted). I do think Fab Melo could be a force eventually with some more work and refinement at the offensive end.

With all due respect, I find it a bit funny that you assume someone else is being an absolute homer after your Troy Smith predictions.

I haven't been this interested in the NBA Draft in a while.
