Wiggins was the consensus No. 1 pick back in the fall, but after a relatively disappointing season in Kansas his stock fell a bit.

Joel Embiid, Wiggins' teammate at Kansas, was expected to be the top pick until he suffered a broken foot a week ago.

Wiggins is a good fit here. The Cavaliers need defense, and Wiggins - while raw on the offensive end - should be a good wing defender from Day One. Kyrie Irving should be able to get him into good spots on offense as well.

The Cavaliers have a questionable draft history, but the initial impression is that this is a solid pick.
