451. C. James Wiseman. University of Memphis. 5. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

The Cleveland Cavaliers need a big man and they’re likely to let Tristan Thompson go. He’s mediocre at best and he costs the team too much money. That being said the Sexton-Garland duo is still being tested so they’ll pair the two with a big and see what the roster can do.

James Wiseman’s talent and potential have a high ceiling and the Cavaliers won’t want to pass on him for any longer. Wiseman played really well for the games he was allowed. Wiseman will be joining an already bad Cavaliers team, so why not let him learn from the league’s best rebounder, Andre Drummond.

Wiseman 19 points and ten boards per game, with a solid double-double average. Wiseman proved to be really good for Memphis defensively with three blocks per game. Wiseman sits seven feet tall and he has a lot of potential.

The Cavaliers will look at taking Obi Toppin, but I think they’d rather roll the dice on Wiseman.
