The Cleveland Cavaliers have their choice of anyone available with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, and they're taking advantage of that freedom in the preceding weeks. Three more players -- Indiana's Victor Oladipo, Kansas' Ben McLemore and Pittsburgh's Steven Adams -- will work out for team officials prior to the big event on June 27.
NBA Draft 2013: Cavs to workout Victor Oladipo, Ben McLemore, Steven Adams
The Cavaliers worked out Adams on Monday, with Oladipo and McLemore visiting later this month.

While the general expectation is that Cleveland will target a big man with the top pick, ESPN’s Andy Katz reports Oladipo and McLemore both received invitations to work out with the team this month. They are among the best prospects available this year, though it would likely take a particularly great workout for the Cavs to take another guard.
McLemore (Scouting Report) could end up being the best scorer in the draft, but it's difficult to see where he fits on a team that already features Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters. Oladipo (Scouting Report) may fit better as a defensive ace, but his lack of size makes him a questionable fit at the 3.
If the team wants a big man with its other first-round pick, 19th overall, working out Adams (Scouting Report) makes a good deal of sense. The Pittsburgh center tweeted out some kind words about the team’s facilities Monday after finishing his workout, though it’s possible he’s off the board before Cleveland picks again.
