The Cleveland Cavaliers have not selected their first first round pick of a draft outside of the lottery since 2009 when they selected Christian Eyenga 30th overall. That pick did not work out. Sure the team swung and missed on some prospects, just like all teams. Cleveland however has had recent success with Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson.
