Trae Young – Cleveland Cavaliers

We’ve seen this story before, where LeBron James‘ franchise drafted his favorite college player before seeing him out the door. However, Trae Young is not Shabazz Napier. Young is not only a superstar prospect who could help ease the loss of Kyrie Irving, but he’s one of The King’s little brothers. Playing with LeBron is everyone’s dream and would give Young the opposite load he carried at Oklahoma.

Young would have a lot less pressure to carry a franchise, not to mention all he could learn from James up close and personal is so invaluable. He would be able to play a lot more off ball as well, similar to Stephen Curry. With the Brooklyn Nets pick projected to come in at seventh as of Feb. 19, it really could happen.
