Starting off with the No. 24 pick, the Cavaliers picked up point guard Tyus Jones, who they promptly traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves for the No. 31 and No. 36 picks.

In the second round, the Cavs picked up Cedi Osman, a forward from Turkey, Rakeem Christmas, a forward who played for Syracuse, and Sir’Dominic Pointer, a guard from St. John’s University.
