Bummer Knecht was taken just before our pick. we passed on holmes thats a sign were keeping allen.

[@stanleybrown1585]

Lighting a fire under Okoro.

[@bvalenz]

1:14 called him Jason instead of Jaylon 😱

[@Sbrabson04]

Lololol

[@JasonLove-ko6lu]

They needed a wing.

[@Clevelandsportsfann22]

We getting cam Johnson fingers 🤞🏿

[@XBeat.]

Hope we don't. Overpayed, we need height ​@@Clevelandsportsfann22

[@anthonypowers4516]

You guys got a gem. Hey look what the last player drafted from Cal did in the finals.

[@calirondon23]

Maybe they pick him up because we expect Mobley to be that all around versatility type player but it wasn't to expectation so Tyson may have filled that void and now Mobley can focus around to his strengths at or around the rim. What do y'all think?

[@jcbuckeye]

We been saying that about Evan for 3 years now.

[@TheSkyrimps3]

He’s only been in the league 3 years

[@jcbuckeye]

@@TheSkyrimps3 that's what I said.

[@jcbuckeye]

3 years to show us how he can be a "unicorn" type player. But if Allen is on the floor he shrinks

[@ALIKIN12345]

​@@jcbuckeye Evan was never gonna reach any new heights under JB...

[@scottmiller1729]

Why can't we hear the questions? You think they could have several mics to pass around.

[@davidlewis2681]

Soooo in other words they just picked a JAG..

[@thacryinggame]

Lol BRO IF YOURE STILL SURPRISED AFTER ALL THESE YEARS…..Dan Gilbert has been doing this for 20 years. And yes it was dan who wanted him. He’s a dolt

[@ElliottGoulde]

I think they just wanted a small foward more better than okura

[@timh256]

he's 6' 5.5 not sure why they keep pretending he's bigger.

[@supremelegend08]

Thats without shoes with shoes he is around 6'7

[@williampecic9002]

6’6” in socks (measured at NBA Combine); 6’7” in shoes. He’s a wing.

[@thacryinggame]

The okoro effect.

[@AndrewPolander]

Mike Gansey just called him a big guard!....He won't be guarding Tatum or Brown...D ???? = can he play off the ball?

[@pink_diamond5963]

Who's out there to get

[@lovemachine4life]

Yeah yeah

[@JamesWalker-ky5yr]

Assume it's a bad pick as Altman hasn't made a good one yet.

[@marionemanzanilla2903]

Tyson looks like a great UDFA guy but at pick 20? Feels like an overreach

[@AndrewPolander]

He wasn't invited to the green room..fearful he was going high in round 2

[@pink_diamond5963]

We need some more help at center and 2 guard

[@Hawkeye62]

This kid wasnt the best available dude! Hes 6'6 or is he 6'7??

[@banditY2K]

6 6 and a half in shoes

[@jcbuckeye]

I agree he was far from best available

[@stanleybrown1585]

MJ is 6 6 lol

[@jaymadeway]

Yes he was bro 😂 all around player yall just don’t know him so yall sayin he wasn’t 😂

[@jeffbrown5518]

#Letemknow

[@Hawkeye62]

Let me know what??

[@XBeat.]

​@@Hawkeye62you're not a Cavs fan. Aren't you?

[@thacryinggame]

@@XBeat.stfu cavs are a pathetic organization

[@thacryinggame]

@@Hawkeye62let em know how NOT to draft in the nba.

[@Clevelandsportsfann22]

Dont be surprised if they come up with Cam Johnson. The report already came out plus they wanna get back in the 2nd rd..he could be trade bait, they could trade levert and wade or wade and tyson or okoro and wade or okoro and tyson chill out people itll be ok i think they know what they need the worked out alot of bigs..offseason not over yet

[@AndrewPolander]

Fingers crossed!!! for Cam...need a 3 really bad....not another Big Guard!

[@JamesWalker-ky5yr]

But Altman. He hasn't made any good picks or trades so far to win a chip. Cavs will make the playoffs, but so does half the league.

[@Clevelandsportsfann22]

@JamesWalker-ky5yr Bruh they've only been relevant for 2yrs 3yrs counting before DM came..DG was a good pick, Mobley was a no brainer, he found CPJ undrafted and wade undrafted..got us strus, who I'm not big on but he better than cedi or lamar..it took celtics 8yrs to win one why do yall think you can just put any player on a team and instantly win, winning ships not easy lol

[@Clevelandsportsfann22]

@AndrewPolander Or DFS or somebody else. The offseason hasn't even started yet n folkslosing their mind because of Knicks getting bridges

[@JamesWalker-ky5yr]

@@Clevelandsportsfann22 the answer is no, the Cavs won't win one with Donny and the mid lotto picks. You know it. I know it. Garland is a knucklehead. A good organization would've got rid of him by now. Mobley is a non-shooting wimp. Okoro and Sexton are bench. Boston moved a lot of players along before they could win it. Altman wants to stand pat. Just admit the man has failed with the post Lebron rebuild.

[@thacryinggame]

Lol 2nd rounder hahahaha losers
