As the Cleveland Cavaliers search for ways to replace super sub Ty Jerome, rookie guard Tyrese Proctor is quickly proving up to the task. The preseason can only prove so much, but Proctor has taken his opportunities in stride since being selected at No. 49 overall in the 2025 NBA Draft.
After thriving at Summer League, Proctor translated his success to the preseason with a debut that the Cavaliers are likely to be buzzing about.
Proctor played 12 minutes off the bench for Cleveland and quickly made his mark. He finished with 14 points, two assists, and a steal, shooting 5-of-6 from the field and 3-of-4 from beyond the arc, also burying a free throw for good measure.
