could do to help shape the roster into a true contender. Before getting to the scenario mocked in this mock draft, it is important to mention that this year's draft will be rather odd compared to previous NBA Drafts.

If the Cavaliers do retain the "Core Four" of Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, then they need a bigger small forward than either Isaac Okoro or Max Strus, a physical backup center to relieve Mobley and Allen in difficult matchups and a true backup point guard.

He will need to improve his reliability at the line in the NBA. The big man from Nigeria has some offensive skills, yet it feels like he is still raw as a prospect. Bona has not nearly reached his ceiling. If he can limit turnovers, secure rebounds at a more consistent clip and continue to develop his jump shot, then he could eventually become a starting center after the Allen years. A tough center with the ability to run the floor and lots of potential happens to be exactly what Cleveland needs.
