Cavaliers were in touch with Nwaba from day one of free agency, recruited the former Bulls/Lakers guard and met with him last week. Nwaba is high-energy, gritty player for Cleveland team aiming to compete in East playoff race. https://t.co/kq7wp2hc5T

Nwaba is a high energy guard and a perfect fit for the new-look Cavs alongside Collin Sexton, Cedi Osman, Larry Nance Jr. and Tristan Thompson.
The 6-foot-4 shooting guard put up averages of 7.9 points on 47.8 percent shooting last season for the Chicago Bulls to go along with 4.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists. Like many other of the players on the Cavs, the 25-year-old Nwaba has yet to even reach his prime.
