The Cavaliers conducted a private workout with Oklahoma guard Trae Young on Saturday, Jonathan Givony of ESPN reports.

Young, 19, is widely expected to be a top-10 pick in the upcoming 2018 NBA Draft. Cleveland possesses the No. 8 pick, via Brooklyn, and could target the explosive point guard if he is still on the board when it makes its selection.

In his single season with the Sooners, Young averaged 27.4 points per game, leading all scorers in the NCAA. He is one of a handful of prospects who appears ready to contribute immediately at the NBA level.

Perhaps that is what caught the attention of Cavs star LeBron James, who indicated that Young was an NBA caliber player more than a month before Young declared for the draft.

“What decision? That ain’t no decision,” James told reporters Tuesday in Oklahoma City, according to Fred Katz of the Norman Transcript. “That’s like saying my waking up this morning is a decision, brushing my teeth. Ain’t no decision. He better go pro.”

James’ return to Cleveland remains uncertain as free agency rapidly approaches. Young has earned the Cavs’ interest regardless, but their close evaluation of Young may be tied to their desire to re-sign James. Miami similarly pursued a prospect James spoke highly of when he was a free agent in 2014, ultimately acquiring Shabazz Napier.

There have also been rumblings that LeBron’s people “like” Alabama point guard Collin Sexton.

If selected, Young would instantly become a top-3 option on the team, as presently constructed. If James signs elsewhere and Cleveland blows it up, Young would find himself the face of a fresh start.

But let’s not put the cart before the horse; the draft is still two days away.
