Chad Ford: Like I said, there's zero consensus in draft after 1st 6 guys - Noel, Oladipo, Porter, McLemore, Len & Bennett. Wide-open after that ... Twitter @chadfordinsider

McLemore remains in the top 5, but I'm starting to have my doubts. I love the talent. But his lack of preparation for the draft is hurting him. Multiple sources told me that his workout in Phoenix was not impressive; he wasn't in shape, and he struggled to keep up in the workout. I heard similar things in Orlando. McLemore is in a tug-of-war right now between adviser Rodney Blackstock and his agency Rivals. It's kept McLemore out of the gym and for the most part, out of workouts. How much will all of this affect the draft stock? I'm told teams are worried. But how worried? ESPN.com

The Cavs have been talking to teams for weeks about a trade, but they are finding a limited market and at this point are likely to keep the pick. Sources in Cleveland strongly suggest that the Cavs have yet to make their decision. Anthony Bennett, Ben McLemore, Victor Oladipo, Otto Porter, Alex Len and Noel all have visits and/or workouts scheduled in Cleveland this week. Noel is scheduled to visit the team Thursday and has a chance to seal the deal as the No. 1 pick if he performs well. ESPN.com

The Magic are in the hunt for Eric Bledsoe. If they can address their point guard issue via trade, they're free to take the best player available at this spot. Indiana's Victor Oladipo and KU's Ben McLemore are widely seen as the two best fits in Orlando. ESPN.com

The Cavs still have these players under serious consideration, in no real order: Alex Len, Anthony Bennett, Ben McLemore, Nerlens Noel and Otto Porter. Some people believe Victor Oladipo is in the group, but he's a long shot. Cleveland Plain Dealer

I do know the Cavs are intrigued by a 3-guard rotation of Dion Waiters, McLemore and Irving. They like Len's size (7-1, 255 pounds), but his offense is raw and he's coming off foot surgery. Bennett may be the most physically gifted scorer in the draft, but he's 6-8, 240 pounds. He's mostly a power forward who has major struggles on defense. Cleveland Plain Dealer

Saunders sounded hopeful he will get a chance to see top shooting guards such as Indiana’s Victor Oladipo and Kansas’ Ben McLemore work out if the Wolves can swing a deal to move up in the draft, but he will probably have to go to them. Minneapolis Star-Tribune

Speculation has started within the league on the possibility of a top pick not named Ben McLemore or Nerlens Noel. Some organizations believe Trey Burke is closer to the No. 2 point guard than the No. 2 selection bound for Orlando on position need, and at least one team has Pitt facing-rising center Steven Adams, who didn't even plan to leave school, as the seventh-best prospect on the board.

Virtually every team at the top of the draft is still considering McLemore. The Magic, Bobcats and Suns look like the most plausible destinations. ESPN.com

Might former Kentucky center Nerlens Noel still be available when the Charlotte Bobcats pick fourth on June 27? A player-personnel executive connected to a lottery team thinks that’s a real possibility, despite Noel often being listed as the first or second pick in various mock drafts. This executive, speaking on condition of anonymity because he’s not authorized to give pre-draft interviews, predicts the first three picks will be some order of Nevada-Las Vegas forward Anthony Bennett, Kansas shooting guard Ben McLemore and Georgetown forward Otto Porter, Jr. Charlotte Observer

According to FOX Sports Ohio sources, abundant discussions are taking place in the Cavs’ front office about the possibility of drafting McLemore, and how things might unfold if he indeed became the pick. The Cavs appear to be intrigued not just by McLemore’s remarkable perimeter touch, but his explosiveness near the basket. Like most evaluators, they believe he can turn into a bona fide scoring whiz at the next level. FOXSports Ohio
