That first round pick, now possessed by the Cavaliers, ended up being the #1 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, which the Cavaliers used to select guard Kyrie Irving. Irving became one of the most gifted scorers in the NBA, and in 2016, hit one of the most memorable shots in NBA Finals history, helping the Cavaliers win their first NBA Championship.
