Cavaliers' Naz Mitrou-Long: Joining Cavs for summer league
Mitrou-Long agreed Saturday to join the Cavaliers for the Las Vegas Summer League, Eric Woodyard of the Deseret News reports.
Mitrou-Long's two-way contract with the Jazz is set to expire July 1, so his decision to explore summer-league opportunities implies that Utah won't extend him a qualifying offer. The 25-year-old guard appeared in 14 games for the Jazz in 2018-19, averaging 1.1 points and 1.1 assists in 6.0 minutes.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Likely out for summer league
Garland is unlikely to play for the Cavaliers' summer league team, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.
While it sounds as though the Cavs have not made an official decision, the organization looks to be leaning heavily toward keeping Garland sidelined when the Utah and Las Vegas Summer Leagues tip off next month. Garland is fully healthy after missing most of his freshman season at Vanderbilt with a torn meniscus, but the team will be careful in bringing him back into competitive basketball situations. The fifth overall pick is expected to travel with the Cavs to summer league, however.

Cavaliers' Phil Booth: Playing summer league with Cavs
Booth signed a summer league contract with the Cavaliers on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Booth is coming off a career at Villanova that made him one of the best players to ever go through the program, but he didn't emerge as a pro prospect until his senior season. Upon taking on a larger role in the offense, Booth averaged a career-high 18.6 points per game while shooting 36.7 percent from three. He's a bit undersized, but he will look to parlay his summer league invite into one to training camp.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Signs pact with Cavs
Wade, who went unselected during the 2019 NBA Draft, agreed to a two-way contract with Cleveland, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
Wade put up strong numbers while with Kansas State, averaging 12.9 points along with 6.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists over 25 contests. Though he didn't hear his name called on draft night, he'll have a chance to work his way into a bench role with Cleveland.

Cavaliers' Kevin Porter: Headed to Cleveland
Porter was selected by the Cavaliers with the 30th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.
The pick initially belonged to Milwaukee before it was dealt to Detroit as part of the Tony Snell trade on Wednesday. Cleveland will reportedly send the Pistons cash and four future second-rounders as compensation. In terms of pure talent, Porter ranks among the top guards in the draft, but he had an up-and-down freshman season at USC that was marred by off-court issues and a suspension. Porter will likely be given a fair chance to develop for the rebuilding Cavs, who also added Darius Garland and Dylan Windler in Round 1.

Cavaliers' Dylan Windler: Goes to Cavs at No. 26
Windler was selected by the Cavaliers with the No. 26 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.
While Windler played at a mid-major in Belmont, he was one of the best pure scores in the nation as a senior, averaging 21.3 points and shooting 42.9 percent from three on more than seven attempts per game. Windler is also a capable rebounder (10.8 RPG) with good size (6-8) for his position. Windler will likely slot in as a backup wing in Cleveland to begin his NBA career.

Cavaliers' Collin Sexton: Role may be affected by Garland
Sexton's role may be impacted by the Cavaliers selecting Darius Garland with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2019 Draft.
With Garland slipping to five, it seems the Cavaliers' front office wasn't going to let him pass by, despite having a positional conflict with Sexton. Sexton averaged 16.7 points on 14.7 shots across 31.8 minutes per game during the 2018-19 campaign, and he notably averaged 21.9 points through the last 20 games of year. It's unclear if he and Garland will play side-by-side or fight for minutes at point guard.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Selected by Cleveland
Garland was taken by the Cavaliers with the No. 5 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.
Garland entered his freshman year at Vanderbilt as a five-star prospect but played just five games on the season due to a knee injury. He's reportedly back to 100 percent following knee surgery and will look to showcase in the NBA the talent he didn't have the chance to show much in college. In the five games he did play he averaged 16.2 points, 2.6 assists, and 3.8 rebounds per game while shooting 54 percent from the field and 48 percent from three. Cleveland took point guard Collin Sexton in the first round of last year's draft and Garland will figure to share the backcourt with him.
