Although they have sharpshooters like Sam Merrill and Max Strus, their point guard, Dennis Schröder, is a temporary option, and they lack a true backup big man. The flaw in much of the roster is a lack of athleticism. The Cavs were among the bottom teams in the playoffs in transition on both offense and defense. The age of many of their star players will always limit Cleveland’s transition and athletic capabilities, but young bench pieces will certainly help. Cavs Draft Targets: Christian Anderson — PG — Texas Tech Cleveland sorely missed the offensive punch Ty Jerome brought off the bench, and Anderson has the potential to replicate that.

Their bench has lacked dominant size for years, and at 6-foot-11, the UNC junior will change it all. The big man is already a premium stretch-five, knocking down 42.6% of his threes last season while still grabbing almost nine rebounds a game. Veesaar is an advanced decision-maker, always finding open space as a role man and making the right pass. He is 22…","meta_description":"Overall, the entire Cleveland Cavaliers bench needs major work and that's where finding depth in the NBA Draft with the #29 pick comes into play.
