Cavs summer league is rolling right along, and that has some wondering if any players can impact the 2017-2018 Cleveland Cavaliers roster.

The Cavs summer league team may offer the franchise a chance to improve the bottom of its roster while getting younger.

Cleveland had an impressive start to Las Vegas summer league, going 3-0.

During that stretch, some players have stood out.

OK, it’s a stretch to think someone on the summer league squad is going to make a difference for the Wine & Gold this season.

But if you’re handcuffed by the salary cap, as the Cavs are, you’ve got no choice to scour every corner of planet Earth in search of talent.

Additionally, the Cavs didn’t have a draft pick last June. A good chunk of the fan base wanted to see the team get into the late first, or second rounds, but it didn’t happen.

With that said, perhaps a player the Cavs find in the summer league could make more of an impact.

As you’ll see, only one player on this list is a true NBA rookie. The others have played professionally in the U.S., and overseas, for the past couple of seasons.

Here’s the five players who have a shot to make the Cavs coming out of the summer league.
