" Le premier choix pour les Cavs" ( L´equipe.fr)

Les Cleveland Cavaliers, qui ont terminé la saison régulière à la dernière place de la Conférence Est, auront le premier choix lors de la loterie de la draft, le 26 juin prochain, et choisiront vraisembablement l´Américain James LeBron.

Avant même d´effectuer son entrée en NBA, le jeune prodige américain s´est déjà fait remarquer en signant un contrat de 90 millions de dollars ( 77 millions d´euros) avec Nike. James LeBron a également reçu un traitement de star par la presse américaine lors de sa dernière saison avec son lycée, St Vincent-St Mary, pour lequel il a réalisé une moyenne de 30,4 points, 9,7 rebonds, 4,9 passes et 2,9 interceptions par match. Il a également été comparé à Michael Jordan pour ses envolées aériennes et à Magic Johnson pour sa vision du jeu et ses coups de patte à mi-distance.

Les Memphis Grizzlies ont reçu le deuxième choix qu´ils vont donner aux Detroit Pistons en raison d´un arrangement entre les deux clubs. Les Denver Nuggets, derniers de la Conférence Ouest, feront le troisième choix devant les Toronto Raptors.
