He averaged 12.4 points on above 40% three-point shooting last season. That\u2019s a skill that\u2019s even more valuable when paired with his 6\u20196\u201d frame and defensive prowess at the point guard position.<\/p>\n<p>Proctor was a plus defender in college. While there are concerns about his athleticism translating to the pros \u2014 he has a strong foundation that many experts considered would have made him a first round talent. The Cavs could have pulled off a steal by getting Proctor at 49th.<\/p>\n<p>Only time will tell. Either way, the Cavaliers have committed to finding out the answer. Guaranteed NBA money for a late second round pick is rare. That\u2019s partly why Proctor fell to the Cavs in the first place \u2014 with reports suggesting that Proctor\u2019s team wanted to find a standard contract rather than a two-way deal. This could be a mutually beneficial pairing if Proctor develops into a rotational player.<\/p>\n<p>Cleveland would gladly take some depth at point guard. Especially, if Proctor blossoms into the three-point shooting, defensive ballhawk he has the potential to become.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>More from fearthesword.com:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cleveland Cavaliers have given the 49th pick in this year\u2019s NBA draft a multi-year contract, worth $8.9&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":146282,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3772],"tags":[7,306,305,193,3846,3112,28159,6,12,2149,1038],"class_list":{"0":"post-146281","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cleveland-cavaliers","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-cavaliers","10":"tag-cleveland","11":"tag-cleveland-cavaliers","12":"tag-clevelandcavaliers","13":"tag-las-vegas-summer-league","14":"tag-multi-year-contract","15":"tag-nba","16":"tag-nba-draft","17":"tag-the-cavs","18":"tag-tyrese-proctor"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/114794071601807816","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146281\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
