Ultimate Cavs - Larry Nance Jr. is a HUGE get for the Cavaliers & why Tyrese Proctor can make an impact as a rookie

Larry Nance Jr. is coming back to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Mark Stein is reporting the Cavs have agreed to a deal with the former Cavs' big man to help solidify the front court. Tyrese Proctor is expected to do big things for the Cavaliers after being drafted #49 overall last week. Proctor signed a 4 year guaranteed deal with the Cavs and could be the first in line to replace the production of Ty Jerome. Is it fair to expect Proctor to be a day one contributor? The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed 2025 NBA Draft pick, guard Tyrese Proctor to a multi-year contract, Cavaliers President of Basketball Operations Koby Altman announced today from Cleveland Clinic Courts.

Proctor also ranked fourth in the ACC in three-point percentage (.405) and three-point field goals made per game (2.34) while also ranking fourth in program history (25th in NCAA Division I) in assist-turnover ratio (2.33). Proctor also led Duke to its 23rd ACC Tournament championship, contributing 19 points on a career-high six three-pointers made in the game and was named a 2024-25 All-ACC Third Team selection and ACC All-Tournament Second Team pick.
