Cavaliers agree to four-year deal with undrafted rookie

The Cavaliers are converting Craig Porter Jr.’s two-way contract into a standard deal, Chris Fedor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Porter will receive a four-year contract.

Porter has been one of the more pleasant surprises for the Cavs this season.

The former Wichita State point guard went undrafted after playing three seasons with the Shockers. He agreed to a two-way deal with Cleveland shortly after the draft.

The 23-year-old point guard has appeared in 32 NBA games in his rookie year, including five starts. He’s averaged 6.5 points, 2.8 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game.

Porter’s playing time has dropped since the Cavs got healthier, most notably Darius Garland‘s return from a broken jaw.

Cleveland had an open roster spot despite signing Zhaire Smith to a 10-day contract on Sunday.
