Rookie point guard shines in Cleveland Cavaliers preseason debut

The Cleveland Cavaliers had their preseason debut on Tuesday night against the Chicago Bulls in a very entertaining 117–118 loss. There were a lot of positive takeaways from the game, with Evan Mobley looking as good as ever and De’Andre Hunter looking very comfortable in a starting role.

The story of the night was the comfort and poise shown by Tyrese Proctor in his NBA debut. Proctor put on a show, scoring 14 points in just 12 minutes, going 5-for-6 from the field and 3-for-4 from three-point range.

Proctor dazzled with his handle, prompting commentators to compliment his skills during the game. He also showed immense confidence attacking the defense and getting to his spots, looking more like a veteran than someone playing in his first live NBA action.
