toddc 13,194 Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 Wendell Green Jr. set to join Cleveland Cavaliers for NBA Summer League Sam Gillenwater Michael Chang | Getty Images Auburn guard Wendell Green Jr. was not one of the 58 players who heard their name called during the 2023 NBA Draft. Still, as the wave of undrafted signings continue to roll in in the aftermath, he has found his place where he’ll start his professionalbasketball career. Per Chris Haynes at Bleacher Report, Green will sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers and compete with them at the NBA Summer League. That word came via Daniel Hazan, the representation for the former Tiger. Green spent the last two seasons on The Plains after starting his collegiate career with Eastern Kentucky. Over his two years with Auburn, Green averaged 12.9 points and 4.6 assists per game in 68 games. After coming off the bench in his first year upon arrival, he then became a full-time starter in ’22-’23 as he finished second on the team in scoring (13.7) and first in assists (4.1) and steals (1.7). At 5’11, Green provided a lively scoring punch and some offensive flare for the Tigers during his time there. Now, he’ll look to prove any doubters of his wrong again with his shot with the Cavaliers in The Land this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnAlumFromThe423 84 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Turning into the Auburn Cavaliers. Shariffe Cooper is on the same G-League team as well; Isaac Okoro is on the parent squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravejd 3,271 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Thats awesome for Green and i hope he can find some success in pro basketball somewhere. Hard to see him making it in the NBA if Cooper and Harper couldn't do it....but there are a lot of pro leagues out there where a guy like Wendall can make really good money.

Yep … don’t have to play in the nba to be a success. Playing pro ball, getting paid to play a game and travel the world … not a bad gig. plus at any time in the future, auburn will open her arms for him to complete his degree.

If you don't already have a team, I'd recommend just occasionally checking in. They're a good not great team, but greatness is very realistic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well root for Auburn guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
