The NBA Draft is fast approaching and while rumors say that the Cleveland Cavaliers may trade the number one overall pick, the team is doing its due diligence and is working out a number of players, including top prospects Victor Oladipo and Ben McLemore.
According to SB Nation, the team is working out both Victor Oladipo and Ben McLemore as well as Pittsburgh's Steven Adams before the draft in late June and while Nerlens Noel from Kentucky is considered to be the top pick, the team is looking at other players in case they decide to go another way. According to ESPN.com, the two main players received invitations to work out and the main issue for the Cavs is how either of those players will fit in with Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters.
The Cavs feel that they have a solid team with Irving and adding another top pick or trading the pick for veterans could greatly improve the club. The team has other picks in the first round as well, including one at 19 and that could be a place where the team goes for a big man depending on what they do with the number one selection.
The Cavaliers have said they are willing to trade the pick and the Washington Wizards appear to be in the same boat as well, as they will listen to offers. The Cavs went 24-58 last season and ranked 19th in scoring and 25th in point per game allowed and they hope to improve quickly over the next few seasons.
