Hey, Chris: What approach should the Cavaliers take in the draft? Best player available or positional need?

Position matters -- to some degree. The Cavs are trying to build the best possible team for the future. In order to do that, they have to at least consider fit. But position can’t be the driving force behind the decision, not if there’s separation among the prospects -- and I think there is.

Part of head coach J.B. Bickerstaff’s responsibility is to create working lineups, regardless of the roster makeup. After he took over for John Beilein, Bickerstaff found a unique way to maximize minutes for his deep frontcourt, using Larry Nance Jr. at small forward alongside Tristan Thompson or Andre Drummond and Kevin Love in a super-sized trio that showed exciting potential.

At this point, the Cavs don’t know enough about Darius Garland, Kevin Porter Jr., Dylan Windler or even Collin Sexton. At least, not enough to bypass talented players simply because they play the same spot.

It’s early. Things have changed in the predraft process because of coronavirus. There’s no word on when the lottery will take place or whether the draft will get pushed back. This is the time of year when executives are usually wrapping up their NCAA Tournament scouting while also planning trips overseas to crosscheck reports on the international group. So, everyone is trying to adjust to the new norm. But the break has provided plenty of opportunities to break down film, relying more on tape than individual workouts or other ancillary factors.

This is my sense right now: The Cavs view three players -- Anthony Edwards, James Wiseman and LaMelo Ball -- in the top tier. Many teams do. I see it the same.

That’s two guards and one center.

Given that, what should the Cavs do if they get the top pick? Those are two areas of strength, so should they just ignore those three prospects and settle for a lesser talent at a position of weakness? Someone like Deni Avdija or Isaac Okoro? Would putting that much weight on position be sound strategy?

No matter how thin the Cavs are on the wing, that’s a dangerous approach and one I can’t endorse.

Back in 2012, there was at least one key member of the front office who loved Damian Lillard. He thought Lillard had star qualities. But the Cavs had just drafted Kyrie Irving one year earlier and were worried about the optics of back-to-back point guards. They were also concerned about a funky fit. The Cavs took Dion Waiters with the fourth overall pick and Lillard went No. 6 to Portland. Whoops.

The following year Victor Oladipo had some fans in the organization. But after snagging Irving and Waiters, the Cavs determined it made more sense to focus on a different position, choosing Anthony Bennett with the top pick while Oladipo went second overall. Whoops again.

There’s a strong case for the playmaking Ball as the best prospect in this class. He’s smart and skilled, with incredible vision and passing instincts. Even though one source described his shot as “broken” and another questioned his care level on defense, Ball has unique size that could allow him to play multiple positions. His skill set is different than Cleveland’s other guards, making the argument a bit more sturdy.

If he’s the top guy and the Cavs get No. 1, they can’t afford to bypass him simply because they used the fifth-overall pick on Garland last season and the eighth pick on Sexton two years ago. Maybe one goes into a high-minute bench role. Perhaps the Cavs flip someone in a trade. It’s the same with Wiseman -- even though the Cavs have Drummond, Nance, Love and maybe Thompson. Even if the top-of-the-draft options aren’t ideal, there are plenty of ways around that.

The way I see it: Position should only be used as a tiebreaker between two similarly-ranked prospects.

Hey, Chris: Who are the best options, in order, for the Cavs in this year’s draft?

Ball, Edwards, Wiseman, Avdija and Onyeka Okongwu. Okoro is right there too. So is Obi Toppin.

Avdija intrigues me more following my discussion with ESPN Analyst Fran Fraschilla. Not only does Avdija make sense from a fit standpoint, but his combination of talent and potential makes him a logical choice. Avdija, a 6-foot-9 wing, has vast experience playing against pros. If he can knock down shots consistently, which remains a massive concern, there’s potential for him to become the kind of versatile two-way player teams covet in this era.

I went back and forth on Toppin and Okongwu as the fifth option. I get the sense the Cavs like Toppin more. But I personally give Okongwu the edge. One of the top recruits out of high school as Ball’s teammate, Okongwu quickly carried that over to the Pac-12. He averaged 16.2 points on 61.6% from the field to go with 8.6 rebounds, 2.7 blocks and 1.2 steals. He also hit around 70% from the foul line -- a reason for optimism when trying to project his outside shooting stroke. Stats and a motor? Yes, please.

Along with his potential as a rim protector, “Big O” has the quickness and athleticism to guard on the perimeter. He isn’t the same kind of ball-handler or playmaker, but Okongwu has some Bam Adebayo in his game.

Hey, Chris: Do you think it’s possible the NBA season gets canceled?

Anything is possible. This is an unprecedented time and there’s no handbook for how to proceed. Plus, everyone -- the country, sports, government -- is at the mercy of this virus. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported late Friday night that there was pessimism about an NBA restart. But a final decision doesn’t have to be made right now. The NBA will take its time and weigh everything before pulling the plug.

Here’s one thing we know: NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has twice said -- an interview with Rachel Nichols and a conference call with president Donald Trump on Saturday -- that he hopes basketball plays a role in leading the economy back. That sounds like a guy who would prefer to finish the season -- even if no fans can enter the arena.

But, again, it’s impossible to gauge exactly where this virus will be in a few days, let alone a couple months. As much as Silver would like to return and ultimately crown a champion, he will also consider the safety of his players, just as he did when he suspended play on March 11 following Rudy Gobert’s positive COVID-19 test.

Hey, Chris: Has Collin Sexton’s improvement in the assist category been noticed enough? Does it help move him away from the sixth-man role that people think he should have?

Depends who you ask. I certainly think the Cavs have noticed. Prior to the league shutdown, Bickerstaff repeatedly talked about the strides Sexton was making in that area. It helped that Garland was sidelined, giving Sexton more freedom to play his old point guard spot and running the second unit while Matthew Dellavedova rested.

Sexton’s play will determine his role. And he continues to prove doubters wrong.

I mean, think about it. He wasn’t supposed to be this consistent of a shooter at this stage of his career and yet he’s hitting 47.2% from the field and 38.0% from 3-point range. Who saw him as a 20-point scorer in Year 2? His assist numbers, the area where he’s received the most criticism, have been rapidly increasing. He averaged 4.1 in February and was up to 4.6 in March. Let’s keep giving him room to grow before we determine exactly what he is.

If Sexton can continue to blend his unique scoring gifts with an ability to make -- and see -- the right, easy plays when they are available, it’s tough to say he isn’t a starting-caliber 2-guard.

The one thing working against him today is the same since he was drafted: His size. Sexton is 6-foot-2. That’s small for a 2. And it could lead to defensive issues, especially if the Cavs are committed to Garland at point guard. That means the best approach for long-term success could be splitting up the duo. I think we need more evidence before making that determination.

Plus, taking Sexton out of any starting lineup would be hilariously irresponsible. He’s the team’s best -- and most consistent -- player. He’s earned that spot.
