Cavs: Dylan Windler has the potential to be a key positionless piece

The main reason that the Cleveland Cavaliers drafted Belmont product Dylan Windler 26th overall in the 2019 NBA Draft was predominantly his three-point shooting ability that should provide valuable spacing for their primary and secondary on-ball creators.

In four seasons at Belmont, Windler shot 40.6% from three-point land on a volume of 4.2 three-point attempts, while having a career collegiate scoring average of 13.2 points per game, per Sports Reference.

While it was not the absolute-best competition at Belmont (which plays in the Ohio Valley Conference), the 22-year-old Windler has shown in NBA Summer League (though it is only Summer League) for the Cavaliers that he can positively impact games in a variety of ways, and of course, the deep range has been on display at times, which should help out players such as Collin Sexton, Darius Garland, Kevin Love, Larry Nance Jr.
