2023 NBA Draft Selection

The Cavaliers used their one and only pick (No. 49, second round) on Eastern Michigan sophomore guard Emoni Bates in last week’s draft. You can see how the Cavaliers have fared with second-round picks historically.

Bates, a 6-9, 190-pounder from Ypsilanti, Mich., was a consensus top 5 recruit and committed to play his college ball with the University of Memphis and head coach Penny Hardaway. Having dealt with injuries and essentially missing home, Bates  transferred to Eastern Michigan before his sophomore season last year.

Bates averaged 9.7 points as a Memphis freshman. He rebounded with a solid season at Eastern Michigan with 19.2 points per game average, shooting 40.5% from the field and 33.8% from three-point land.

The Cavaliers are young and improving and that shows on Ohio sports betting apps.

Before the draft, Cleveland was listed at +900 to win the Eastern Conference and remains that way at BetMGM Ohio.

Late last week, the Cavaliers had 4.1% of the tickets and 10.9% of the handle – third only at BetMGM to the Miami Heat (63.9%) and the Boston Celtics (13.3%).
