Cavs Win Lottery, Again

With the lottery over, Cleveland won, Milwaukee finished second and Philly won third.

So what now? Depends on a lot of things, but if we had to guess, we'd expect Cleveland to take Joel Embiid to shore up inside. Milwaukee could go for either Jabari Parker or Andrew Wiggins. They have plenty of size in Larry Sanders, Jon Henson and Giannis Antetokounmpo, so they might opt for Wiggins at a wing, whether forward or guard.

If Cleveland passes on Embiid, it seems unlikely that the Bucks would pick him, unless he factored into a trade (or allowed them to trade Henson or Sanders). Our best guess right now is that Parker ends up with the Sixers.

Whatever happens, Cleveland is surely hoping to avoid a repeat of the disastrous rookie performance from Anthony Bennett.
