What happened: Meleek Thomas is drawing praise from his former college coach as he continues to produce for Cleveland's Summer League roster. In a clip shared by NBA on Prime, the coach said scouts "missed on" Thomas as he scored buckets for the Cavaliers.

Why it matters: Thomas signed with Cleveland on July 1 and already delivered a 20-point Summer League debut, turning an under-the-radar signing into an early roster story. Continued production keeps him in the conversation as Cleveland shapes its offseason roster around Donovan Mitchell's new max extension.

What to watch: Cleveland continues its Summer League slate with Thomas in line for extended minutes.
