Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports’ NBA coverage first reported the Cleveland Cavaliers signing of shooting guard David Nwaba (the financials are still undisclosed).
Previously with the Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls, Nwaba is a defensive-stopper by trade, as KJG’s Quenton Albertie broke down recently.
Unlike Cleveland’s other core young pieces, he shouldn’t have to be counted on as much as a two-way player.
Rookie point guard Collin Sexton (under tutelage from veteran George Hill), second-year small forward Cedi Osman and restricted free agent Rodney Hood will need to be Cleveland’s primary perimeter creators as the year moves along.
