#1: Bullock would provide knockdown deep shooting help for the Cavs

Firstly, Bullock, who had 10.9 points per outing last season as a starter last season, has proven throughout his career that he’s a polished catch-and-shoot player, and he’s capable off movement as well.

Throughout his seven seasons, Bullock has hit 39.2 percent of his three-point shot attempts. In the past four seasons, that’s been a 40.0 percent clip on 5.4 attempts per outing.

While he’s not a guy that’s going to create offense for himself off-the-bounce, Bullock would provide a quality outlet for kickouts for players such as Garland, if he sticks around, Sexton, to go with other guys. The same goes for ball-swings/ball reversals.

I would think that Bullock could very well be a key bench shooting presence, or if Sexton were to be dealt perhaps, he could be Cleveland’s starting 3, with Okoro shifting to the starting 2 maybe. That’d be if the Cavs went with Mobley in the 2021 NBA Draft, for further context.

I do still believe that Sexton, with what he’s shown, could still very well stick around though, in fairness, and maybe he and the Cavaliers could figure something out next offseason/he could end up having a restricted offer sheet being matched, anyhow.

Regardless, the 6-foot-7 Bullock could provide Cleveland with a knockdown deep presence on the wing, and if that sort of thing could lead to Prince at some point being traded elsewhere, for instance, oh well.

Whether or not that is the case with Prince, who could appear in lineups with Bullock either way I believe, a knockdown shooter, and a proven off-ball player like Bullock that moves really well, would be a nice add.

That’s in particular for a Cavaliers team that was, whether or not injuries played into it, last in the league in three-point shooting percentage in 2020-21 and was 28th in three-point shot attempts per outing.

So moving on, we’ll touch on key seller #2 for Bullock as a potential Cavs 2021 NBA Free Agency target.
