It's hard to believe that training camp is right around for the Cleveland Cavaliers and the rest of the NBA. It feels like it was just yesterday that their season came to an end at the hands of the New York Knicks.

The Cavs are getting ready for another year with one that will have major implications for their future. With that came three new signings to join the team for traincamps. 

Here's a breakdown of each of them:

Sharife Cooper

Sharife Cooper may be a name that some Cavs fans are already familiar with. He's been in the organization for the last few seasons playing in a couple of preseason games last year.

Most of his time has been spent with the Cleveland Charge. Cooper started in all 25 games for Cleveland's G League affiliate last season and averaged 21.3 points, 6.3 assists, and 3.8 rebounds. 

Pete Nance

The Cavs kept the legacy going being another member of the Nance family into the organization. Cleveland signed Pete Nance, son of Larry Nance Sr. and brother of Larry Nance Jr., to a training camp deal after he went undrafted.

Nance played at Northwestern University for four seasons and the University of North Carolina for one during his collegiate career. He also played in all six Summer League games with the Cavs averaging 7.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.2 assists.

Justin Powell

Another undrafted player the Cavaliers are taking a shot at is Justin Powell. Powell is a shooting guard who played at Auburn, Tennessee, and Washington State for college. He also played in two games with the Miami Heat during last year's Summer League.
