Small forward Casey Prather, one of the Cleveland Cavaliers Summer League standouts, has headed back to Australia to play for the NBL’s Melbourne United. He had spent the past two seasons playing for the NBA’s Perth Wildcats.
(Quote transcribed by Roy Ward of the Brisbane Times):
“Cavaliers Summer League coach Damon Jones praised Prather’s defensive work against Golden State Warriors guard Patrick McCaw but the team opted to sign veteran forward Jeff Green and use their two-contracts on other players.”
Throughout Summer League, Prather showed off his upper-end athleticism, three-point stroke and aptitude for perimeter defense.
