Cavs Receive Championship Rings, Lose to the Knicks 119-107

It was ring night in Cleveland, the first time this city had celebrated a champion in 52 years. Still, once the ceremony was finished, the Cavs fell to Kristaps Porzingis and the New York Knicks. Even though the Cavs outscored the Knicks 39-18 in the first quarter, a great run by Porzingis and Anthony in the fourth quarter ensured a W for the team from New York. The two led everyone with 28 and 27 points respectively. In Derrick Rose’s Knicks debut, he scored 15 points in 37 minutes.

Kevin Love led the Cavs with 28 points, while LeBron James finished the game with 23 points, going 9-of-20 from the field. Kyrie Irving will want to forget the season opener, since he shot 0-of-6 from beyond the arc.

Who will Get Picked no.1 Overall in 2017?

With 16-17 NBA season officially having started, it might be a perfect time for us to take a look at the players NBA teams will target at 2017 draft. Even though it’s still too early to say, here are 6 players who have the highest chance of getting picked no.1 overall at the end of the season.

Michael Mitch Jr. – SF Kansas

At the moment, it seems like Kansas Jayhawks’ Michael Mitch Jr. is the favorite to go no.1 overall in the 2017 draft. And the spotlight in Mitch Jr. comes with a good reason – he’s a small forward who can score both from the inside and the outside.

Malcolm Ferguson – PF Washington

Malcolm Ferguson is another candidate for that no.1 pick. Washington Huskies’ PF is a great rebounder with ability to score from the inside. Due to his size and the ability to rebound, Ferguson might also cover the center spot for any NBA team next season.

Hakan Durak – PF Turkey

Definitely the best prospect coming from Europe this season. Durak plays for Turkish side Fenerbahçe Doğuş as a PF and is expected to declare for 2017 NBA draft. He’s known for his ability to score from under the hoop.

Brandon Montana – SF Kentucky

Montana might just be the best shooter in this year’s draft. Montana is able to shot from mid-range and from the 3-point line and it’s for sure there will be quite a few NBA teams looking to draft him in 2017.

Kendall Carter – C Wisconsin

Right now, Carter is considered to be the best C among this year’s prospects. Wisconsin Badgers’ big man stands at 7.1 and is best known for his outstanding strength.

Luke Eriksen - SG Duke

Luke Eriksen is a skilled shooter playing for Duke Blue Devils. And when Luke is at his best it’s easy to see why NBA scouts love him so much since his shooting off dribble seems to be excellent.
