The last time the Cavaliers selected first was in 2003, when the team selected a kid named LeBron James out of high school. James left for the Miami Heat last summer and the Cavaliers finished the 2010-2011 basketball season at 19-63.
The Cavaliers also have the No. 4 pick in the June 23 draft.

"Cesar Chavez" is a trending search term after a Republican congressman from California chewed out the U.S. Navy for naming a cargo ship after Chavez, the late farmworker activist.
Rep. Duncan Hunter said the decision was unfair to military war heroes.
"Naming a ship after Cesar Chavez goes right along with other recent decisions by the Navy that appear to be more about making a political statement than upholding the Navy's history and tradition," said Hunter, a member of the House Armed Services Committee.
The Navy is expected to announce its decision about naming the cargo ship Wednesday.
Chavez, who died in 1993, founded the union that grew into the United Farm Workers. He fought for better pay and safer working conditions for farm workers.
