Also worth noting that this was a fantastic draft for Canadian basketball. Tristan Thompson goes 4th overall to Cleveland, and Cory Joseph goes 29th to San Antonio (he was pegged as a late 2nd rounder). Both teams seem like really good matches for these two. Thompson will get a lot of playing time and opportunity with Cleveland, while Cory Joseph will probably be moved along slowly, but gets to learn the game under Popovich.
