Dan Gilbert Regrets Not Listening To Tom Izzo On Picking Draymond Green

The Cleveland Cavaliers had two early second round picks in the 2012 NBA Draft directly ahead of the Golden State Warriors at No. 35.

Tom Izzo called Dan Gilbert at the end of the first round imploring the Cavaliers to select Draymond Green.

"You gotta take my guy," said Izzo to Gilbert.

"I still wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat that we didn't take him," Gilbert said. "I didn't listen to my gut."

The Cavaliers ended up winning the lottery again in 2013 and selected Anthony Bennett.
