Tristan Thompson

CLE Center #3

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Cavaliers are signing free-agent center Tristan Thompson.

After spending the postseason with the Lakers, appearing in six games, Thompson is headed back to the place where he’s been most successful as a professional. A first-round pick in 2011, Thompson spent nine seasons in Cleveland, helping to propel the franchise to its first NBA title in 2016. With this iteration of the Cavaliers, he’ll provide leadership off the bench behind Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. Fantasy managers don’t need to consider selecting Thompson in their leagues, regardless of size.
Ricky Rubio

CLE Point Guard #13

Ricky Rubio is putting his career on hold indefinitely to focus on his mental health, per ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.

There’s no timeline for Rubio, and there shouldn’t be one for mental health. He’ll take all the time that he needs. He was set to lead the Spanish National Team in the World Cup this month. He also has two years remaining on his current deal with the Cavaliers.
Luke Travers

CLE Shooting Guard #76

Luke Travers revealed recently that he will remain in Australia to continue his development next season.

A second-round pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, Travers stayed in his native Australia for his first professional season in order to get the playing time needed to develop. He’ll be in a similar position next season, as the guard said in a recent interview that he saw “no point” in signing a two-way contract when he can continue to develop in Australia. Travers will play for Melbourne United, and his decision will not impact fantasy basketball.
Emoni Bates

CLE Shooting Guard

Emoni Bates logged 31 minutes in Monday’s 99-78 win over the Rockets, tallying 19 points (6-of-13 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers.

Bates was one of Cleveland’s best performers at Summer League, and he finished his run in Las Vegas with a complete performance. The 49th overall pick in last month’s draft, Bates had the look of a player who could potentially develop into a steal for the Cavaliers. He’ll be on a two-way contract next season, as will Craig Porter Jr., who added eight points, nine rebounds, eight assists, one steal, and one block in 30 minutes on Monday. With Bates, Porter, and title game Isaiah Mobley all on two-way deals, Cleveland’s G League affiliate stands to be pretty good next season.
Sam Merrill

CLE Shooting Guard #5

Sam Merrill shot 6-of-12 from three in Monday’s 99-78 win over the Rockets, finishing with 27 points (8-of-14 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, and two assists in 30 minutes.

Named to the first team All-Summer League squad before Monday’s title game, Merrill put forth another quality scoring effort to help lead the Cavaliers to the title. Through six games he made 25 3-pointers, the most in a single summer league since 2017. Cleveland has two open standard contract spots at present time, and Merrill deserves consideration given his play in Las Vegas and ability to knock down perimeter shots in general. If Merrill’s given the opportunity to compete for a spot in the rotation, he has the potential to provide some value in deeper leagues as a 3-point specialist.
Isaiah Mobley

CLE Power Forward #15

Isaiah Mobley finished Monday’s 99-78 win over Houston with 28 points (12-of-20 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals, two blocks, and one 3-pointer in 27 minutes.

Mobley may not have been named the MVP of the NBA2K Summer League, but he was unquestionably one of the top performers in Las Vegas and was named MVP of the title game. He was both dominant and efficient in Monday’s title game, shooting 60% from the field and recording a full line with just one turnover. Mobley has a two-way contract for next season locked up, but he looked like a player deserving of a standard deal during his time in Las Vegas. Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen being the starters at the four and five make it difficult to expect much from Isaiah from a fantasy standpoint, but there’s a lot for Cavaliers decision-makers to like about his skill set.
Emoni Bates

CLE Shooting Guard

Emoni Bates shot 8-of-13 from the field in Sunday’s 102-99 win over Brooklyn, accounting for 20 points, seven rebounds, and four 3-pointers in 34 minutes.

Bates didn’t offer any defensive production, but his efficiency on the offensive end of the floor has improved by the game in Las Vegas. The second-round pick is unlikely to be a factor in fantasy basketball as a rookie, but the Cavaliers should be encouraged by the growth shown by Bates over the course of Summer League. Sam Merrill added 19 points, four rebounds, five assists, one steal, and four 3-pointers in 36 minutes, and he may be competing with Bates for a spot on the back end of the rotation when training camp begins. And that may be the best-case scenario for both players.
Isaiah Mobley

CLE Power Forward #15

Isaiah Mobley shot 8-of-14 from the field and 4-of-5 from the foul line in Sunday’s 102-99 win over the Nets, finishing with 21 points, seven rebounds, five assists, one steal, two blocks, and one 3-pointer in 33 minutes.

Mobley has been one of the best performers in Las Vegas, and his jump hook propelled the Cavaliers into Monday’s championship game. The older brother of Cavaliers star Evan Mobley, Isaiah is in a difficult spot as far as fantasy value is concerned. Between Evan and Jarrett Allen, a lot of the minutes at the power forward and center positions are essentially spoken for. The elder Mobley is signed to a two-way contract for next season, so fantasy managers should look elsewhere for deep-league value. That said, Isaiah has played well enough to deserve a longer look with the “big club” than what he received as a rookie.
Isaiah Mobley

CLE Power Forward #15

Isaiah Mobley recorded a double-double on Thursday with 18 points (5-for-15 FGs), 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one 3-pointer against the Bulls.

Mobley has had a solid summer so far, which is good to see for a player on a two-way contract. He spent last season in the G-League, which will likely continue next season, but seeing him play well is encouraging.
Craig Porter Jr.

CLE Point Guard

Craig Porter Jr. dominated Chicago on Thursday with 22 points (9-for-15 FGs), eight rebounds, six assists, three steals, one block and one 3-pointer in an 87-83 win.

Porter Jr. has had a decent summer for the Cavs, but this was by far his best game in Vegas. He is on a two-way contract for Cleveland after going undrafted out of Wichita State, and he’ll likely spend this season in the G-League, but this was a solid performance for him.
