Cleveland Cavaliers Guard Proctor Vs the Mavericks
Proctor had 24 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists on 10/19 shooting, and made 4 of his 13 three-point attempts. He has always shown glimpses of how good he can be, but this was a full game showcasing his ability. He is a smart player with a high IQ and knows how to control the game. His size makes him a good rebounder. He is a very good passer and always finds the open guy.
His three-point shooting is something that has always been good. He has a clean, pure shot and can get streaky hot. The Mavericks had no answer for the young guard, and he had his way with them. This is the type of play that Dallas has needed from their backup players.
Earning More Minutes
This was the type of performance that could earn Proctor a lot more minutes. He currently plays a backup role with limited minutes, but this game showed everyone something. He may see himself in the lineup more in the near future. Proctor is a player who doesn’t need the ball in his hands to be effective; he played well with or without it. Since he has been in the league, he has slowly been earning more minutes. This season is now his chance to play a lot and be a vital part of the Cavaliers.
This was an impressive performance by the young guard. A 24 point triple-double and he led them to a win. Proctor is proving that he can play and that he should be getting a lot of minutes. He might be the answer to helping a struggling Cavaliers team get back to winning.
