Former Notre Dame star forward Bonzie Colson has agreed to a training camp contract with the Cavaliers, Joe Vardon of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The addition of Colson gives Cleveland a full 20-player roster for camp. The Cavs also reached camp agreements with guards Isaac Hamilton and Scoochie Smith on Thursday.
The 6’6” Colson missed most of his senior season with the Fighting Irish due to multiple foot injuries. He was viewed as a potential second-round pick before fracturing his left foot against Penn State during the National Invitation Tournament in March. When he was able to take the court, he was very effective, averaging 19.7 PPG, 10.1 RPG and 2.2 BPG as a senior.
He was scheduled to play for the Cavs at the Las Vegas Summer League but that plan was scuttled because he was still rehabbing his foot.
had to look twice it wasn’t bonzi wells
Bonzie Colson will make the team. Guaranteed.
The Cavs have acquired some nice young players on camp deals, two ways and of course, the 8th pick in the draft. If it looks like they’re not in the playoff race, it’d be smart if they dynamically lose (aka tanking) to keep their 1st rounder away from Atl.
