While it has been a discussion of about four or five players for the better part of the last month, it seems that the Cleveland Cavaliers have narrowed things down to just two players and now just one.
The Cavaliers have narrowed things down to Andrew Wiggins from Kansas and Jabari Parker from Duke, and according to Adam Zagoria from SNY.tv, the Cavaliers will be selecting Wiggins with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft this year.
This isn’t at all surprising as not only did Wiggins have better work outs with the Cavaliers but Parker had been starting to distance himself from the Cavs in recent days. Cleveland is not a destination for players, and even youngsters coming into the league know that Cleveland is a potentially toxic situation.
Still, the Cavaliers love Wiggins and he might be the future superstar player they need to fully pull themselves out of the muck and into the glory they have tasted only so briefly in the past.
