A fifth game will be added to the schedule later in July.
The Cavs full roster has yet to be announced, but you can expect Thomas (this year’s 34th pick) and their two-way players to be there. Tristan Enaruna and Riley Minnix were on two-way deals last season, while Ernest Udeh Jr. is their latest pickup. Udeh is a 6’11” center who went undrafted this week.
Summer League should always be taken with a grain of salt. This environment is very different from the NBA and features players who are all desperate to prove themselves. This can lead to wonky results that rarely translate directly to the pros.

Nonetheless, you can gain some insight into who these players are in Vegas. Sam Merrill, Craig Porter Jr., and Jaylon Tyson are recent success stories from inside the Cavs organization. Each of them dominated the Summer League in their own way.
I’d watch Proctor (assuming he’s there) and Thomas most closely. These are the two prospects whom Cleveland has invested the most into. Thomas, the 6’5″ combo guard, has a chance to light it up from downtown and deliver a good first impression.
Meanwhile, Proctor should look to graduate from the Summer League. It would be great to see him stand out from everyone else. A strong performance could send him home early. That’s the goal.
