NBA Draft 2019: Looking at the top 10 picks from the class of 2019

Pick #5 Cleveland Cavaliers - Darius Garland (PG, Vanderbilt)

Darius Garland would help the Cavaliers solve their scoring problems

Ranking second last in the league in scoring and third last in field goal efficiency last season, the biggest problem that the Cavaliers needed to solve was scoring. They only had one person in mind as to who they wanted to draft with the fifth overall pick and that was Vandy guard Darius Garland.

Garland will bring much-needed offensive flair to Cleveland. He converted an elite 47.8% of his 4.6 attempts from downtown during the 2018-19 season. Having brilliant handles, he is a brilliant scorer off the dribble as well. However, Garland is seriously lean and could get easily bullied by big men whenever trying to get inside the paint.

Pick #6 Phoenix Suns (to be sent to Timberwolves) - Jarrett Culver (SG, Texas Tech)

Jarrett Culver is yet another athletic guard to join the league

It was reported earlier that the Minnesota Timberwolves were looking to move the pick acquired from Phoenix in a trade that saw Dario Saric and their 11th overall pick move in the other direction. Since they didn't manage to do the same, they ended up picking the best player available on the board in the form of Texas Tech sophomore Jarrett Culver with the sixth overall pick.

The 2019 Big 12 Player of the Year was undoubtedly the go-to man for Texas Tech whenever they needed offensive production. That he managed to score at nearly 46% accuracy from the field definitely helped his cause there. Boasting sheer athleticism in enough abundance, Culver is also a good rebounder of a ball for a guard.
