Cavs Sign Crompton Ten Day Deal To Back Up Paquette
The Cavaliers tabbed Crompton on a 10 day contract last Monday to replace injured Ben Paquette. He sits on the bench tonight against the New Jersey Nets as he tries to prove himself and shed the label of “last chance” while adapting to Tom Nissalke’s system and George Karl’s evaluation. Crompton, formerly with the Montana Golden Nuggets and Denver, weighs 343 pounds and says center is his lifelong position. He has limited NBA time but pledges to work during the off season to seize the opportunity.
