The general thought a few months ago was that the Cleveland Cavaliers were reportedly likely to bring back David Nwaba for the 2019-20 season, and we’ve touched on reasons why Cleveland should try to do just that before here at KJG.
Nwaba, when healthy last season, was a quality contributor for Cleveland, and his 12.2 points on 52.7% effective field goal shooting and 6.0 rebounds per 36 minutes illustrate that, and he was an asset on the defensive end of the floor, in particular.
Nwaba was clearly the best defender on the perimeter for the Cavaliers in 2018-19, while also holding his own against small-ball 4’s, and ideally, I’d like to see Nwaba back.
