According to basketball insider Adam Zagoria, prior to the 2017 NBA Draft the Cleveland Cavaliers have expressed interest in the University of Arizona shooting guard Rawle Alkins. Alkins is a 19-year-old one-and-done prospect who averaged 10.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.
By reaching out to Alkins’ high school head coach, the Cavs are showing real interest.
While the Cleveland Cavaliers don’t have a pick in the upcoming draft, there’s always the potential for them to buy a second-round pick like they did last year when they spent $2.5 million on the second-round pick (54th overall) used to select point guard Kay Felder.
