While grabbing the win would have been good for morale, losing in preseason is not the end of the world whatsoever — especially when the Cavs’ 2025 second-round pick, Tyrese Proctor, showed signs of being a future rotation player in his first exhibition game.</p><p>Proctor, in just 12 minutes of play off the bench, managed to <a href="https://x.com/TheHoopCentral/status/1975739462606000531" rel="noopener">put up 14 points</a> on an incredible 5-6 shooting from the field and 3-4 from beyond the arc. The Cavs rookie, who was picked 49th overall in last year’s draft, showed so much promise as a scoring spark plug, and with Darius Garland on the mend, perhaps he could end up playing a role for the team in the near future. He also added two assists for good measure.</p><p>The Duke product shot 40.5 percent from deep in his final collegiate season, so it’s his <a href="https://twitter.com/simplyballup/status/1975738549350846924" rel="noopener">ability to score</a> from the perimeter that drew the Cavs’ attention to him in the first place. Combined with his ballhandling ability that allows him to gain separation from his defenders, Proctor has all the makings of someone who’ll have a long NBA career.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Tyrese Proctor vs CHI (preseason)</p><p>14 PTS, 5-6 FG, 3-4 3P, 12 MP<br> <a href="https://t.co/iinlvYSePB">pic.twitter.com/iinlvYSePB</a></p><p>— Tahj (@simplyballup) <a href="https://twitter.com/simplyballup/status/1975738549350846924?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 8, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>At 6’5″, he could very well have some defensive utility as well. With the Cavs having lost Ty Jerome in free agency, Proctor could end up being a <a href="https://cavsnation.com/news/cavaliers-tyrese-proctor-showcase-summer-league-roster">like-for-like replacement</a> in the end all while saving Cleveland tons of dollars in tax payments.</p><p>The Cavs’ second preseason game will be on Thursday night — a rematch against the Bulls at 8:00 PM E.T.</p><h2><b>Cavs look to reclaim place at the top of the Eastern Conference</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.cavsnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Cavs-Donovan-Mitchell-and-Darius-Garland.jpg"><figcaption>Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Cavs ended the 2024-25 season on quite an embarrassing manner, as they were sent packing by the Indiana Pacers in five games in the second round of the playoffs.</p><p>Nonetheless, for this upcoming season, everything is lining up for the Cavs to once again reign the East, at least in the regular season. The Boston Celtics and Pacers are going through a gap year with their best players navigating Achilles tear recovery. Their biggest competition for the one-seed in the East will be the New York Knicks, a team that brought back its core last year but with upgraded depth.</p><p>Cleveland has to be hardened by their playoff heartbreak last year, however, and should come back with an even bigger chip on their shoulder.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Former Duke basketball point guard Tyrese Proctor has been one of the standouts so far for the Cleveland Cavaliers. After speculation of coming back, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ncaa-basketball/duke-basketball-news-tyrese-proctor-nba-draft-decision" rel="noopener">he decided to enter the draft</a>, and it seems the decision has paid off.</p><p>The Cleveland Cavaliers fell short to the undefeated Sacramento Kings in their most recent Summer League game, 94-86. However, the game’s story is what Tyrese Proctor did for the Cavaliers. The Former Duke basketball point guard was thrust into having more responsibilities with Jaylon Tyson and Craig Porter Jr. both out, and he delivered with 35 points, four assists, and two steals.</p><p>The Duke basketball Instagram account <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DMMRedCRsD0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" rel="noopener">noticed his performance and praised him</a> with the caption, “Rese cooked up a 35 burger with exclamation mark emoji, hamburger emoji, and bicep emoji.” The account posted 20 different pictures and clips highlighting Proctor’s epic performance.</p><p>Proctor struggled from behind the three-point line, only making four of his 14 attempts. However, Proctor’s on-ball confidence and quick trigger are inspiring signs for his potential not just with the Cavaliers, but for his NBA future in general.</p><p>Tyrese Proctor falling to the late second round seems crazy in hindsight after a performance like this. He was relegated to a sharpshooter in college because last season’s Duke basketball team had so much scoring power thanks to Cooper Flagg, Kon Kneuppel, and Khaman Maluach.</p><p>As a key piece on the Final Four run this past season, Proctor averaged 12.4 points, 2.2 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game in his last season. His performance in Wednesday night’s Summer League game proves that the Australian prospect has much more to his overall game than he showed consistently at Duke.</p><p>One of the keys that immediately jumps out about Proctor is his size. He is 6-foot-6 and weighs 185 pounds. That frame and length are a difference maker for him, so they differentiate him as an NBA prospect.</p><p>The 2024-25 Duke Blue Devils were a loaded team that saw five different players get drafted. Cooper Flagg was the highlight after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/dallas-mavericks/mavericks-news-dallas-officially-selects-cooper-flagg-2025-nba-draft" rel="noopener">being picked with the first overall pick</a> by the Dallas Mavericks. Then, Kon Kneuppel and Khaman Maluach were also picked in the top 10 by the Charlotte Hornets and the Phoenix Suns. Sion James and Tyrese Proctor rounded out the Blue Devils draft, with James also heading to Charlotte and Proctor to Cleveland.</p><p>There is also an argument that, despite waiting as long as he did, Proctor has a significant advantage in where he ended up and learning from Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
