The Cavs have had talks over the last few days about who will represent the organization at the virtual lottery. Sources say that’s still to be determined. Last year, it was franchise legend Brad Daugherty.
Cleveland general manager Koby Altman reached out to Daugherty a few weeks before the lottery and asked if he would be the team’s representative in the lottery show. He happily agreed. Then on Aug. 20, he was the face of the Cavs as they were awarded the fifth pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.
“I think that the fifth pick is a great spot. I think there’s a lot of people we can look at adding to the team that really would be impactful right away,” Daugherty said. “I’m really looking forward to seeing how it rounds out, who we pick and the reasons why.”
When Daugherty came back to the Cleveland area this past season and mingled with the team, he had opportunities to speak with Cavs players both young and old. “It’s really funny because Collin Sexton is an excellent young man, and Darius Garland and these guys look at you and they know who you are, but they kind of don’t because they (are too young),” Daugherty said with a laugh. “And I remember having that feeling when I was playing and older guys would come around. You knew who they were, but you didn’t really ever see them play much — because you weren’t even born.”
