Merrill’s journey stands out in today’s NBA. He spent time with three franchises and logged only 350 minutes across his first three years. Now, Merrill has found new life in Cleveland. He joined the Cavaliers on a 10-day contract in 2023. Merrill quickly secured a guaranteed multiyear deal that expired this summer.
Last season, Merrill’s 71 games marked a career high. His consistency and improved shooting touch helped Cleveland finish with the league’s best record at 64-18.
