Cavaliers sign Earl Clark

The Cleveland Cavaliers made their first move in free agency and it does not seem to address the teams need of a scoring forward,although the move could add some depth and help to the second unit.

A 6'10 SMALL forward that specializes in jump shooting? That's Earl Clark,who was signed from the Lakers to a two year contract at 4.5 million per year.

Clark is a defensive specialist that can guard small forwards,which for a 6'10 player can be quite an advantage and will build up a large amount of blocked shots against smaller players.

Clark will challenge Alonzo Gee for the starting job at the three spot and brings an interesting skill set to the table off of his 2012-13 season.
Clark shot over 100 three pointers last season after attempting just 15 totals from the arc in his first three seasons and drilled over a third of them.
Combine that ability with his quickness and defensive skills and at worst,you have a solid role player and at just 25-perhaps a candidate for a breakout season.

Earl Clark might not be an exciting signing,but it could be a very useful one....
