With the final pick in this 2019 NBA re-draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers are forced to switch directions. Since Kevin Porter Jr is gone, they take Isaiah Roby instead at pick thirty.
Porter Jr didn’t really work out in Cleveland, but he turned into a great player with the Houston Rockets. Cavaliers fans may not have the best memories of Porter Jr, but there’s no doubting that he’s a promising player now.
Roby barely saw any playing time in his first season with the Thunder. However, he really came into his own last season when he played over twenty-three minutes per game.
He mainly played power forward but also spent some time at the three and the five. Roby’s versatile play would provide Cleveland some solid forward depth, something they really need right now.
While the Porter Jr era never worked out in Cleveland, he’s still a solid prospect. However, Cavs fans shouldn’t be too upset with the selection of Roby at thirtieth overall.
So, what picks do you agree with? Which ones would you change? What are your thoughts on the 2019 NBA re-draft?
