3 Cavs that could lose a roster spot to Summer League standouts

The Cleveland Cavaliers have had a successful NBA Las Vegas Summer League through two games. Their record, which matters to the players and coaches but not to the greater organization very much, sits at 1-1, with a solid win over the San Antonio Spurs and a close loss to the Denver Nuggets.

Driving those victories for the Cavs have been a number of standout players, guys trying to earn a spot either in the rotation or on the roster. The full roster is comprised of a mixture of recent draft picks, Cleveland Charge G League players and a handful of other fringe NBA prospects trying to catch on somewhere. Only one player, Ochai Agbaji, has a guaranteed contract for next season.

Which players on the Cavs’ roster could lose their roster spot to one of Cleveland’s Summer League standouts in Las Vegas?

The play of the Cavs in Las Vegas has been noteworthy, and it could lead to one or more players finding their way onto the full roster. If that were to happen, it would come at the expense of a player currently on the roster, as the Cavs currently have 14 guaranteed contracts, the non-guaranteed deal for Lamar Stevens and the restricted free agent rights of Collin Sexton.
