This has all led to him being an NBA player. That’s something no one can take away from him. “I imagined playing, but that feeling when I get out there is surreal,” Tomlin said. “All that hard work that I put in and now I get to really step onto an NBA court. It’s amazing.” That hard work has been seen during his time with the Cleveland Charge, the G League affiliate of the Cavs. He’s averaged 15.7 points and 6.9 rebounds per game on .548/.361/.619 shooting splits. This has added up to an impressive 61.5 effective field goal percentage. Tomlin’s game is unorthodox for a 24-year-old 6’10” forward. His skills as an off-the-dribble scorer are impressive and not something you often see in a player of his size. How that translates to the professional game was unknown coming into this season. As a result, Tomlin began the year in a limited role. He played just spot minutes at the start but began to take on more responsibility once injuries forced him into the lineup a month in. His playing time doubled from November to December, as did his production. -via Fear the sword / February 27, 2025
