An unknown entering the year, Cavaco exploded onto the radars of scouts early this spring and has seen his stock hold in the day one range since. When watching Cavaco play this season, it’s easy to see why he’s made such a positive impression. At 6’1” with long arms and a very projectable frame, Cavaco is a natural fit at the hot corner and has solid actions at the position. He’s a decent runner but not especially fast and will probably lose a tick of speed as he gets bigger, but he’s a sudden athlete who should have decent range at the position regardless.
