Yahoo Sports Commentary
Kessler was the leading shot blocker in college basketball this past season and moves well with his 7-foot-1 frame. The Cavs had success last year with Isaiah Mobley and Jarrett Allen in the lane and Tim Connelly is making a similar move in his first year as president of basketball operations.

Moore tested the NBA waters last year and elected to return for one more season, working on his body and footwork. It paid off and he was the floor general for a very good Duke team. Moore will carry that leadership to Minnesota and be a decent backup.
