3 Players The Cleveland Cavaliers Should Target In The NBA Draft

The NBA Draft starts on Wednesday night, but the Cleveland Cavaliers (as of Wednesday afternoon) do not have a pick in the first round.

Instead, the Wine and Gold have picks No. 49 and 58, which will take place on Thursday evening.

Here are three players the Cavaliers should target with their picks later in the second round.

Eric Dixon - Villanova

The Cavaliers should be looking for a player who can provide immediate impact off the bench. Eric Dixon, out of Villanova, perfectly fits that role.

The 24-year-old played five seasons for the Wildcats and proved that he can be a number-one option in an offense.

Dixon averaged 23.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists while shooting 45 percent from the floor and 40 percent from behind the arc last season.

He's someone worth taking a risk on with a late-round pick.

John Tonje - Wisconsin

Another NBA-ready guard who would be a solid option for the Cavaliers is Wisconsin guard John Tonje.

Similar to Dixon, Tonje is another example of a guard who could come off the bench for the Cavaliers and provide an immediate scoring boost.

He averaged 19.6 points while shooting 46 percent from the floor and 38 percent from behind the arc for the Badgers.

Tonje likely needs to become a more consistent three-point shooter to crack any NBA roster, but the potential is there to be a quality depth piece, especially for the Cavaliers.
