THE Cleveland Cavaliers grabbed the No. 1 selection in next month's NBA draft, winning the draft lottery for the second time in three years on Tuesday.
Cleveland's lottery jackpot comes 10 years after it landed superstar LeBron James with the top selection in 2003.
In 2011, rebuilding after James's departure in 2010 for Miami, the Cavaliers gained the top pick via the lottery and selected current All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving.
The Cavaliers, coming off a 24-58 season in which Irving missed 23 games because of injuries, had the third-best odds to win the top choice.
But after Tuesday's draw, the Orlando Magic ended up with the second choice in the draft, which will be held on June 27.
