Evan Mobley - Third-year option to be picked upThe Cavaliers will pick up Mobley's third-year option, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ImpactMobley impressed as a rookie last season, racking up 15.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.7 blocks over 33.8 minutes per contest, so it's no surprise the team will keep him around for a third campaign. Mobley will reprise his role in the frontcourt of an improved Cavs roster, but the addition of Donovan Mitchell could shift the balance of usage on offense.

Isaac Okoro - Team option picked up for 2023-24The Cavaliers exercised Okoro's team option for 2023-24 on Saturday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ImpactOkoro will become a restricted free agent after the 2023-24 season. Okoro is yet to solidify himself into Cleveland's starting lineup after being drafted fifth overall in 2020. Okoro will have to continue proving his outside shooting if he wants to stay with the team long-term.

Franz Wagner - Struggles from field in winWagner accounted for 13 points (4-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and a steal across 21 minutes in Friday's 114-108 preseason win over the Cavaliers.
ImpactWagner wasn't sharp with his shot and needed 12 field goal attempts just to score 13 points, but he made up for that lack of efficiency with solid contributions in other categories. Expect him to operate as one of Orlando's go-to players on offense regularly.

Caleb Houstan - Scores 11 points FridayHoustan ended with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds and an assist across 15 minutes off the bench in Friday's 114-108 preseason win over the Cavaliers.
ImpactThe rookie profiles as a three-and-D wing at the NBA level, and while there are some questions regarding his role, he can be a decent contributor off the bench if given enough minutes. That said, he is not likely to be a major factor in most fantasy formats due to the lack of clarity regarding his role.

Paolo Banchero - Stuffs stat sheet in winBanchero notched 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and a steal across 27 minutes in Friday's 114-108 preseason win over the Cavaliers.
ImpactThe highly-touted rookie ended the preseason on a strong note and once again proved he's more than ready to play at the NBA level. Expect him to be one of Orlando's go-to players on offense while also making an impact defensively due to his length and athleticism.

Isaiah Mobley - Solid output off benchMobley registered eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists across 20 minutes off the bench in Friday's 114-108 preseason loss against the Magic.
ImpactMobley was efficient and contributed on both ends of the court, though he probably didn't do enough to secure a regular role off the bench ahead of the start of the season. The Cavaliers will open their campaign Oct. 19 on the road against the Raptors.
OCTOBER 15, 2022ROTOWIRE
Cedi Osman - Nears double-doubleOsman delivered 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, an assist and a steal across 23 minutes in Friday's 114-108 preseason loss against the Magic.
ImpactOsman made the most of his start in the preseason finale. While his shot wasn't really there, it's worth noting that he still produced a solid stat line while ending just one board shy of a double-double. Expect him to be a regular contributor off the bench for Cleveland once the regular season begins next week.
