Jalen McDaniels was recently waived by the San Antonio Spurs after being acquired in a trade. Standing at 6-foot-9, he possesses the athleticism and defensive skills that the Cavaliers need, particularly for guarding larger wings in the Eastern Conference. Although his career has been marked by inconsistency, with limited playing time on a rebuilding Raptors team, he has previously shown potential, averaging 9.4 points and 4.3 rebounds in a more productive role two years ago. For the Cavaliers, taking a chance on McDaniels could address their need for depth and versatility on the wing.
