It was not shocking to see the Cleveland Cavaliers address their perimeter shooting needs in the early days of NBA Free Agency over the weekend. Cleveland brought in Max Strus via sign-and-trade from the Miami Heat and signed Georges Niang prior to that.
Those two players got the headlines, and rightfully so, as they will have their share of looks on the perimeter. Both Strus and Niang fit the bill of knockdown shooters, and with the Cavaliers giving Strus a four-year, $63 million deal and Niang a three-year, $26 million deal, they’ll be expected to hit their deep ball attempts.
