The Cleveland Cavaliers have another opportunity at getting a franchise player Thursday during the NBA Draft. Cleveland holds the No.1 pick, and while many teams have offered packages to acquire the pick, it’s likely they’ll end up staying atop the draft. With injury concerns for Joel Embiid, who likely would have been the Cavaliers pick, it’s now between either Duke’s Jabari Parker and Kansas’ Andrew Wiggins. According to ESPN’s Chad Ford, Cavaliers owner, Dan Gilbert, wants Andrew Wiggins, while the front office wants Parker.

We’ll find out Thursday who gets their way.
Well, maybe the Cavs front office should listen to Gilbert:
Gilbert let Cavs front office + Mike Brown select Anthony Bennett. Gilbert was an Oladipo fan. He'll have a stronger voice this year.
