Chad Ford has a list of reasons why the Cleveland Cavaliers will pick Nerlens Noel #1 in the NBA Draft.
Most of his analysis is based on how the Cavaliers have selected in the past, but ultimately, if his knee is ok then there shouldn’t be a reason for him to drop.

So, if he Cavs aren’t worried about the knee … isn’t he the same guy they had ranked No. 1 on their board all season?
