If you were a draft prospect, which team would you want to be drafted by most?

[Roy H.]

This year?  The Cavs.  They'd pay me the most money, and I'd get a chance to play with a budding superstar in Kyrie Irving.

After they choose to resign between Irving, Waiters, Zeller, Thompson.... you'll get 0 dollars.

Plus, Cleveland may be boring!

As a prospect good enough to be drafted #1, I'd feel confident in my ability to beat out Waiters, Thompson, and Zeller.

"You like it? You think Cleveland's cool? I never heard anybody say I'm going to Cleveland on vacation. What's so good about Cleveland?"

No hate on Cleveland

Money can make a lot of places look good.  Plus, shouldn't a draftee's focus being on improving at basketball, rather than nightlife?

Boston. City is so rich in history and tradition. It has Harvard where someday I could send my children to become outstanding citizens of the world and become my best financial managers and even lawyers or doctors when I retire. A great family in the making where I would remain relevant, as a citizen or simply a successful family man, even after my playing days are way way over.

Brooklyn or one of the LA teams.  If I'm a 19 year kid and I have an agent in my ear, I'm going to lean towards the biggest market for endorsement opportunities. Tradition and history is nice, but money/fame/good party scene is typically gonna win over at that age.
