Slipping to sixth isn’t optimal, but let’s walk this one through with some wild speculation!

• Bulls take LaMelo Ball at No. 1
• Pistons go Anthony Edwards at No. 2
• Timberwolves go Deni Avdija at No. 3
• Hornets go James Wiseman No. 4
• Warriors go Killian Hayes at No. 5

So, the Cavs’ options here would be Isaac Okoro, Obi Toppin, Devin Vassell and Onyeka Ongungu. For some variety, let’s go with Okoro this time around with Vassell as the No. 2 option.
