Summer should be a season of growth for the Cleveland Cavaliers. While all eyes are on competing for a title in the immediate future, the continued development of their youth is arguably just as important. There aren’t as many prospects on the roster as there were a few years ago — but there are still a few players worth talking about.
Jaylon Tyson, Tyrese Proctor, and whoever the Cavs potentially select 29th overall in this year’s NBA Draft are the main prospects we are focusing on.
In your opinion, whose development is the most important?
Tyson is probably the closest to making an impact. He had a breakout sophomore season as a multifaceted role player who knocked down over 40% of his three-point attempts. Tyson’s on-ball game is ripe with potential, and he has one of the highest motors on the team. A more refined defensive game could make him a highly valuable two-way threat.
Proctor, meanwhile, is still lurking in the shadows. Opportunities were limited during his rookie season. But Cleveland is counting on him to take a leap and be playable next year. He’s got all the tools to play next to James Harden and Donovan Mitchell as an efficient shooter who can defend the point of attack. The Cavs would love to have Proctor in their rotation.
Finally, the 29th pick in the draft is a mystery. We don’t know who they might pick or what position they would even play. If there’s a prospect that has piqued your interest, then maybe you’ll vote for them.
Either way, we want to hear from you in the comments. Do you believe Tyson, Proctor, or the 29th pick can develop into something special on this roster? Who has the highest ceiling? Let us know!
