Nae’Qwan Tomlin’s path to a 10-day contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers hasn’t been straightforward. He didn’t grow up on the AAU circuit like most pros but instead learned to play on the streets of New York City. Tomlin started playing organized basketball after high school, began his collegiate career at Monroe Community College, and played for four colleges in five years. It was an unconventional journey, to say the least, but one that Tomlin is glad he took. “Most definitely,” said Tomlin to Fear the Sword when asked whether that road has been beneficial for him. “Just from a maturity level. I was very immature early on. It just helped build character. Even when I was at Kansas State transitioning to Memphis, everything was just life lessons. It’s made me who I am today.”

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.
