CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Sure, there would be considerable excitement building around Northeast Ohio if the Cavaliers had gotten the right bounce in the ping pong hopper earlier this month.

But truth be told, the drama is considerably higher with the Cavs unable to land Kentucky's Anthony Davis in Thursday's draft. Instead, the Cavaliers seem to hold the key to how the first dozen picks could go from their position with the fourth choice.

Do they stay put, likely getting Kentucky's Michael Kidd-Gilchrist or North Carolina's Harrison Barnes? Do they pull the trigger on a deal that could move them to No. 2, with Florida's Bradley Beal as a prize?

Or do they surprise everyone by moving down, adding more picks and picking up perhaps two of the top 12 choices?
