NBA Notes: Cavs, Kawhi Leonard, Jazz, Brice Sensabaugh, Pelicans

Cavs have three candidates for backup point guard job

For once, the Cavaliers don’t need training camp to determine their starting lineup. The more interesting competition will take place behind it. Craig Porter Jr., rookie Meleek Thomas and second-year guard Tyrese Proctor enter camp as the primary candidates for Cleveland’s backup point guard minutes, as Mack Perry of NBA on SI examined.

NBA Notes: Timberwolves, Jonathan Kuminga, Cavs, Tristan Enaruna, Thunder

Timberwolves Jonathan Kuminga said his early conversations with Timberwolves coach Chris Finch have centered on two responsibilities. “Rebound and defend,” Kuminga said during his introductory press conference. “Those two will open up the rest of the stats.” That sounds like precisely what Minnesota needs after trading Naz Reid and Julius Randle in the deal for LaMelo Ball. Kuminga gives the Timberwolves size, athleticism and another versatile defender alongside Ball and Anthony Edwards. As Ry...

Why do NBA teams build fancy practice facilities, then leave for camp?

The Hawks announced they’re holding training camp at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. Which raises a question: Why do NBA teams build state-of-the-art practice facilities, then begin each season practicing somewhere else? The Cavaliers spent Kenny Atkinson’s first two training camps at IMG Academy in Florida.

NBA Notes: Cavs, Peyton Watson, Celtics, Payton Pritchard, Jazz

Cavaliers Preseason basketball isn’t designed to provide many answers. But for the Cavaliers, it should at least provide a few useful first looks. Zach Weiss of Cavs On SI identified Peyton Watson’s early work with the starters as one of the things to watch. Makes sense. Watson needs to learn where Donovan Mitchell and James Harden want him, while the Cavs need to see how his ankle responds in actual game conditions. Watson is beginning a four-year, $88 million contract and is expected to prov...

The Knicks won the championship. Josh Hart would still prefer everyone to believe nobody respects them. “I don’t think we have a big target because I don’t think anyone is picking us to win again,” Hart said during ESPN’s U.S. Open coverage, via BasketNews. “We’re using it as fuel. We’re still the hunters. We’re not satisfied with one.” Whether nobody is picking the Knicks to repeat may be a slight exaggeration. They just rolled through the postseason, sweeping the 76ers and Cavaliers before b...
