The most interesting parts of the article

"“I think it’s a marriage. It’s a great fit,” Player said after Yahoo Sports’ NBA insider Shams Charania tweeted that Preston had “agreed to join the Cleveland Cavaliers.”"

"Player said her son would travel to Cleveland on Sunday and start working out with the Cavs this week.". (article was published on Saturday so he is probably in Cleveland now working out.)

I would not wait long if the cavs to lock him up. Will not cost much and is worth the flyer.
If LBJ leaves, Preston could follow him to wherever he goes

Sorry I couldn't help myself

Read the article I put above. His mom says he isn't concern if LeBron is going or stays. He knows either way the Cavs will be a good opportunity for him because there will be roster turnover.

Excellent news.

I think him and Collin are friends too since they played in the McDonalds game together or against each other, either way, they are pretty cool.

They can build chemistry. I’m super excited about the summer league.

I also think the two weeks in Cleveland before summer league is huge for us. We can have guys that are still in town work out against him to guage how good he is. Put him against Cedi, Nance, TT, Hood, or even John Holland or Okaro White to see how he plays against NBA talent.

Billy Preston's All-Star appearances will be greater than or equal to Collin Sexton's

I could live with that. I hope that doesn't mean 0 for each

I think every guard should look for a big man that can help them develop their game. Sexton should work really well with Zizic and Nance as he is a very advanced pick and roll player for a college kid. He could be the same with Preston playing the pick and pop.

Gettinga TT/ Delly synergy goes a long way to having go to plays that are unarguable. If these young guys work together, they can make an impact.

lol...

I almost made a comment about how Billy Preston's getting more attention than Sexton...

Cavs fans love to obsess over end-of-bench guys.

I think it's a case of obsessing over big men rather than six foot point guards.

he was still a 5 star recruit less than a year ago. He is 6'10 and handle the ball and shoot. if not for the issue at KU that wasnt that bad he would have been a top ten pick
Not your typical end of the bench guy

I have middling expectations for everybody involved

You're being too generous.

If he was that great, that much of a top 10 pick, he would've been drafted at the very least in the 2nd round.

Basically, I'm not buying the top 10 stuff one bit. Cavs did not get lucky as fuck here. I hope they did, but I live in the reality of Cleveland not having supreme luck like this.
