The Cleveland Cavaliers are looking for their first win in Summer League. We’ll see if they can do so against the Miami Heat on Monday evening.

Meleek Thomas has been the story out of Vegas so far for Cleveland. The excellent shooting that was the headline in the post-draft analysis has been on full display. He’s connected on 6-15 (40%) from three and 17-39 (43.6%) from the floor. This has added up to an impressive 25 points per game.

The playmaking has been better than anticipated from Thomas. Koby Altman discussed wanting to see him play the point more in Summer League. We can see why, as he’s displayed a nice feel for the game, resulting in five helpers per contest.

Look, I am not at all suggesting they’ll be the same caliber of player

While Thomas has been impressive, not everyone on the team has. The Cavs would certainly like to see more out of the two-way players under contract.

Riley Minix has struggled to find his shot and has yet to hit a three in Vegas on 10 attempts. Additionally, Ernest Udeh Jr. hasn’t been able to make much of an impact as a scorer or on the glass in his run so far. We’ll see if either can turn things around on Monday.
