Cleveland Cavaliers: 5 NBA free agents to target with the mid-level exception

Tyreke Evans

Tyereke Evans, a former NBA rookie of the year, can play all three positions on the perimeter, and he’s only 27.

Yet no one seems to have any inkling as to what the future holds for Evans, according to the Bleacher Report.

Evans would be the playmaker LeBron clamored for mid-way through last season, because Evans can create his own shot, or dish to the open man. Evans is averaging 5.1 assists for his career.

Plus, he’s a fit against the Warriors. When Golden State goes with their small lineup, Evans and his 6-foot-6 frame would make the Cavs better this past June at matching up with the NBA champs.

He’s not a 3-point threat, shooting 29.5 percent from beyond the arc for his career. But his versatility and ability to create make him a player the Cavs need to target.
