Team Needs Countdown: #30 Cleveland Cavaliers

Team Overview: The tandem of Lebron and Mo Williams has been dynamite, and as long as those two are surrounded by quality role players who defend and/or hit open shots they will be a championship caliber team. Their front line is aging however; both Ilgauskas and Ben Wallace have contracts expiring after next season and are unlikely to contribute as starters in the future.

Draft Needs: This is a great team right now, but their front line after 2010 is a very murky picture. They drafted JJ Hickson last year and will likely resign Anderson Varejao this offseason, but clearly that isn't enough. I would expect Cleveland to target either a big man who can play the pick-and-pop or defend the paint.

Possible Picks: Tyler Hansborough (UNC), Taj Gibson (USC), Derrick Brown (Xavier)
