The Cleveland Cavaliers have the 14th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. Here are three top prospects they should consider:

Ochai Agbaji, SG, Kansas

• Led Kansas to national championship, averaging 18.8 PPG
• Shot 47.5% FG and 40.9% from three
• Big 12 Player of the Year and Final Four MOP
• NBA-ready 3-and-D wing at 6'5"
• Could immediately help Cavs' wing depth and shooting

Malaki Branham, SF, Ohio State

• Ohio native and former "Mr. Basketball" winner
• Averaged 13.7 PPG on 49.8% FG and 41.6% from three
• Big Ten Rookie of the Year
• Strong shot creator and scorer
• Could boost Cavs' 20th-ranked offense

Johnny Davis, SF, Wisconsin

• Big Ten Player of the Year
• Averaged 19.7 PPG and 8.2 RPG
• Three-level scorer with clutch ability
• Stock dropped due to late ankle injury
• High upside at 6'5" wing position

The Cavaliers need wing depth and scoring after missing the playoffs. While packaging the pick for a veteran is possible, these prospects could contribute immediately while developing with Cleveland's young core. Agbaji offers the safest floor, Branham provides local appeal and scoring, while Davis has the highest ceiling if healthy.
