NEW YORK \u2014 The Cleveland Cavaliers had a night off for the opening round of the 2025 NBA Draft Wednesday evening, holding no picks this year, but on Thursday, the team got to add a new face, selecting Tyrese Proctor with the No. 49 overall pick. <\/p>\n
Proctor, a 21-year-old 6’5″, 185-pound combo guard from Sydney, Australia, played three seasons with the Blue Devils. <\/p>\n
In those three seasons, Proctor played in 106 games, starting in 97 of them. He averaged 10.8 points a game, three rebounds and three assists while shooting 42.1% from the field and 36.5% from three. <\/p>\n
Last season was Proctor’s strongest, averaging 12.4 points while shooting 45.2% from the field and 40.5% from three. <\/p>\n
Proctor was a rising collegiate talent who will look to continue development as he enters his NBA journey with Cleveland. <\/p>\n
Last year, the Cavs used their first-round pick, No. 20, on Jaylon Tyson. Tyson appeared in 47 games in his rookie season, averaging 3.6 points and 2 rebounds in 9.6 minutes, shooting 43% from the field. <\/p>\n
The Cavs are set to select again in this year’s draft, holding the penultimate pick of the second round, pick No. 58. <\/p>\n
