If the Cavs obtain Georgetown small forward Otto Porter (6-8, 200) with their first pick in the draft, they might go big with the No. 19 pick they got from the Lakers. They could package Nos. 19, 31 and 33 and try to move up five or six spots in the draft. News-Herald

Porter is the perfect fit for Cleveland, and according to sources he is the No. 2-ranked player on the Cavs' board right now. With two dynamic scorers in their backcourt and good size up front, they need a wing like Porter who can excel without having the offense run through him. ESPN.com

Noel was the overwhelming choice as the best player in the draft. He received five of the seven first-place votes. The other two first-place votes went to McLemore. The third- and fourth-best players in the draft, according to those polled, are Bennett and Porter. Bennett received four third-place votes and wasn’t ranked lower than sixth place by any voter. Porter garnered two third-place votes, along with two fourth-place votes. Nobody voted Porter lower than sixth. Racine Journal-Times

Chad Ford said that he knows (his emphasis) who the Cavs are going to select: Otto Porter. What do you "know"? Also, is this the worst draft ever (modern era) talent-wise? -- Aaron Fink, Boulder, Colo. Hey, Aaron: With all due respect to the esteemed Mr. Ford, I know the Cavs don't know who they're taking yet. For one thing, they don't know what pick they'll have yet. I will say Porter makes a lot of sense given their lack of scoring at the small forward position, but I'd doubt they'd take him if they get the No. 1 pick. As for this draft, it takes several years to be able to be able to adequately judge a draft, so I don't think we'll know for a while how this one stacks up. I know personnel people certainly don't seem overly excited. Cleveland Plain Dealer
