Who should Cleveland draft from Duke?

The Cleveland Cavaliers are facing one of their most important draft choices ever. It's a little over 3 months away, and they have no idea what position their pick will be and who they will draft. The Cavaliers are certainly watching the young talents they desire with open eyes, but the Cavaliers can save time, effort and fill a gaping hole in their roster by studying Duke and their players. Wherever the Cavaliers end up in the draft, Duke have the required talents to push the Cavaliers to the next level. 

The obvious choice would be Jabari Parker, but it looks unlikely the Cavaliers will get a chance to draft the star, who's predicted to go number one. If the draft was arranged as things stand today, the Cavaliers would have a chance at drafting another Duke star in Rodney Hood, and he'd certainly be an upgrade for the struggling team. 

Although Duke have had problems of their own this season, they are used to winning, and adding the mentality their players have to the Cavaliers and former Duke star Kyrie Irving would not be a bad thing. To have players like Parker or Hood alongside Irving would be great for a franchise that's accustomed to losing. 

The general consensus is that they are one player away from becoming a playoff team, and they may find that player in a Duke uniform. The Cavaliers have to get it right, but then again, they like to surprise people in the draft. Who would you like to see the Cavaliers draft, and would they come from Duke?
