Q: 2nd round fliers who might be appealing for the Cavaliers? Why should they consider drafting Amari Williams?

Amari Williams
is certainly a name to watch at No. 49 or No. 58, especially on a team like the Cleveland Cavaliers which is spending big on interior starters. I currently have Williams at No. 69 on my board, well within range to hear his name called or pick up a two-way deal.

Others players to watch include Max Shulga, Javon Small and Tamar Bates — all potential replacements for Ty Jerome or Sam Merrill if they exit in free agency. Finding a starting-caliber wing that late is unlikely, but Jalon Moore, Micah Peavy and Brice Williams all make sense here too.
