The Cleveland Cavaliers are signing undrafted guard Xavien Lee to an Exhibit 10 contract for the upcoming Summer League and training camp. This move adds a 22-year-old guard to the roster as the team evaluates young talent. Lee, a capable playmaker with good size, spent last season at Florida after earning All-Ivy League honors twice at Princeton.
Lee averaged 11.6 points, 4.2 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.2 steals in 35 games for the Gators. While his perimeter shooting numbers were a concern, hitting 29.2 percent from beyond the arc on 5.6 attempts per game, his court vision and passing ability stand out. An Exhibit 10 deal is a non-guaranteed training camp contract, offering Cleveland flexibility as they assess his fit within the system. A related announcement noted: “)
