The Cavaliers have added a familiar name to their training camp mix, bringing back Rashaun Agee after his stint with the team in Las Vegas this summer.
Agee arrives with a profile that’s a little different from the usual fast-track prospect. He spent seven total seasons in college, including a redshirt year, an injury season and a JUCO campaign, and by the time he was a senior in age, he was finally logging regular minutes. Over his last three college seasons, he suited up for three different programs.
What Agee showed in Summer League lined up with the traits that have carried him so far: size, strength and work around the basket. He averaged 14 and 8 for Texas A&M last year, giving them steady production on the glass and a reliable presence in the paint. Defensively, he also chipped in nearly a block and a steal per game, bringing energy on that end.
The biggest swing skill is still the jumper. Agee made just 26.4% of his 3-pointers, and he didn’t exactly live beyond the arc, taking fewer than three attempts per game. If he’s going to carve out a longer NBA path, that’s the area that needs real development.
For now, he’s entering a crowded fight for a spot. The Cavs don’t have any two-way openings at the moment, so Agee will be battling Sean McNeil and other exhibition-10 players for a chance to stick. The likeliest outcome right now is a G-League deal, with a possible path to a two-way contract later.
Riley Minix may not be staying, which could eventually open that door. Cleveland is also capped out after officially signing Khalifa Diop, so standard contracts are off the table. That’s not an immediate issue, but it does shape how the roster can evolve over the next few months.
Agee’s frame fits the mold of an NBA combo forward, and he presents a similar look to Tristan Enaruna, who already holds one of the team’s two-way deals. If Agee performs well with the Charge, he could earn a longer look.

Cavs Get Their First Real Test With A Reshaped Camp Roster
The Cavaliers have put together a training camp roster that gives this fall a different feel, with four new invitees joining the mix as the team heads overseas to start work in Andalusia, Spain.

With a reshaped group and a handful of newcomers in the building, the early weeks of camp figure to matter for both evaluation and fit as the Cavaliers start laying the groundwork for the season.

Cavaliers Camp Could Decide Which Young Players Actually Stick
Training camp is going to matter a little more than usual for the Cavaliers young group, with Thomas, NaeQwan Tomlin, Proctor, Porter Jr. and Watson all expected to be in the mix for playing time. Cleveland has enough established pieces to know its shape at the top, but the real intrigue is at the edges of the roster, where these younger players will get a chance to show whether recent flashes can turn into something sturdier.
Preseason is likely to be the cleanest evaluation window for all five, especially with the 2026-27 season in mind. Strong camp work and real game minutes could help separate the players who are ready to stick from the ones who still need more time, and for a group like this, the margins are going to be thin. The Cavaliers do not need all of them to pop, but they do need a few to make a convincing case before the competition gets too crowded. [Read more 🡒]
One Overlooked Cavs Number Connects To A Strange Team Pattern
The number 28 has barely had a footprint in Cavaliers history, which is part of what makes it stand out now. Alfonzo McKinnie is the only player to wear it for Cleveland, and his brief place in the franchise record book sits alongside a broader look at how the Cavs have navigated different eras, from playoff seeding trends since 1998 to the season records that have shaped their postseason paths.
It also turns out 28 has popped up in another memorable Cavs moment, thanks to Timofey Mozgovs 28-point night in the 2016 NBA Finals. Put together, those scattered references give the number a strange kind of relevance in Cleveland lore, even if it has never belonged to one of the teams defining stars. [Read more 🡒]
