Sam Amick of SI.com has the most interesting NBA draft report in the history of NBA draft reports!
Interestingly enough, I had Barnes slotted at No. 4 in today's SBNation.com Mock Draft. What put me in that direction was Cleveland's lack of need for a power forward, given that their No. 4 pick from 2011 (Tristan Thompson) plays the position. Thomas Robinson might be better than Thompson, but teams don't usually hit the same position in back-to-back top-5 picks.
The more interesting implication to me: what if Charlotte goes with Robinson at No. 2, the Wizards add to the backcourt with Bradley Beal at No. 3 and Cleveland sticks with Barnes at No. 4? Why, that looks like a path to Michael Kidd-Gilchrist at No. 5! All of my fingers are crossed hard.
There's more Amick goodness about the Kings in there, too. Check it out.
