De’Andre Hunter has been the standout so far. He’s stepped right into his starting role and shown to be a great complementary piece next to Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen and Donovan Mitchell. Hunter scored in bunches against Chicago and looks like he’ll be in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future.
Other Cavs have also been notable. Mobley is knocking down jumpers and playing with confidence. Craig Porter Jr. had a huge debut and Tyrese Proctor is showing flashes as an on-ball creator. There isn’t much to conclude from a pair of preseason games — but these little moments are what we are watching for.
Lonzo Ball and Larry Nance Jr. have both looked impressive despite some struggles to score the ball. The newest Cavaliers provide some much-needed size and versatility to Cleveland’s bench. Particularly, the playmaking potential of both Ball and Nance has shown itself in the preseason. These are two players who know how to keep the ball moving.
Cleveland plays one more game at home against the Detroit Pistons after this. They wrap the preseason on Tuesday, October 14, before getting ready for their regular season opener in New York against the Knicks. The Cavs play their home opener on October 26 versus the Milwaukee Bucks.
