Cleveland Cavaliers (via SAS): Karim López, F, Mexico

Height: 6’8
Weight: 220
Class: International
Draft Age: 19

Cleveland adds to its thin wing depth with second-year NBL Next Star, Karim López. The Mexico native has found himself producing efficiently against grown men in Australia. His skill set has a lot of functionality in today’s game. With plus size and strength for a wing, López is a fluid, physical driver with increasingly function handles in tight spaces. He’s also starting to bomb 3s at a compelling rate, becoming a true inside-out threat offensively.

There are issues, of course. López boasts all the tools to defend at a high level, but laggy processing and the occasional deficit in lateral quickness can lead to aggravating breakdowns. He doesn’t have much of an in-between game either, a limiting factor — especially if his 3-point shot wavers at any point. Still, the upside is significant and Cleveland could use a wing capable of pressuring the rim and easing the burden on its star-powered backcourt.
