The 2019 NBA Draft was a successful one for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but they may regret passing on these three prospects.

In a highly anticipated NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers walked away with three solid prospects. With picks No. 5, 26 and 30 at their disposal, the Cavaliers managed to haul in some players that have the potential to help turn their franchise around. However, is it possible they messed up passing on other guys?

The Cavaliers are in an obvious rebuild. Numerous issues led to the team finishing as one of the three worst teams in the league this past season. Despite their poor record, the Cavaliers did not have luck on their side in the NBA Draft lottery as their pick fell to the fifth spot, only one slot away from their worst-case scenario.

Still, the Cavaliers made some good decisions with what they were given. Taking an offensively gifted guard in Darius Garland with the fifth pick, the sharpshooter Dylan Winder at No. 26 and then capturing a huge steal in Kevin Porter Jr. with the 30th pick, the Cavs should be happy with what they came out with.

For now, Cleveland is feeling satisfied with their selections. But what prospects do they wish they could have also drafted? Here are three players the Cavaliers might regret passing on as the years go by.
