The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed 6’8″ Croatian forward Mario Hezonja to a one-year, $2.8 million minimum contract, marking their first free agency move this summer. Hezonja, the fifth overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft, has spent the last six years in Europe, recently excelling with Real Madrid where he was named MVP in Liga Endesa. Known for his outside shooting, Hezonja’s offensive skills may bolster the Cavs’ bench, though his defensive abilities are not as strong. This signing could be part of broader roster changes as the Cavs navigate the offseason following the LeBron James sweepstakes.
