CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Cavaliers are putting the finishing touches on their championship roster, officially signing second-round draft pick Kay Felder.

The Cavaliers acquired Felder's rights on draft night after he was originally selected No. 54 overall by the Atlanta Hawks.

"We are excited to welcome Kay Felder to the Cavs' family," General Manager David Griffin said on the night of the 2016 NBA Draft. "Kay is a dynamic playmaker, and most importantly, the type of person and competitor that we want to add to our locker room."

Felder, 5-foot-9, played in all seven games during the Las Vegas Summer League and showed plenty of promise. He averaged 15.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.4 steals in 29.9 minutes per game.

While Felder's size could be an obstacle, at least early, the Cavs have an open spot for a third point guard after Matthew Dellavedova left for Milwaukee in free agency.

During summer league, Griffin expressed optimism about Felder moving into Dellavedova's old role, behind Kyrie Irving and veteran Mo Williams.

"I would hope so," Griffin said. "We have a lot faith in Kay's ability to get there. It's going to take time for Kay, but the person he is, the competitor and the worker he is, we feel very confident if we invest in him much the way we invested in Matthew Dellavedova that we will have a player who is willing to achieve and frankly overachieve."

At Oakland University, Felder led the nation in assists, dishing out 9.3 per game, and was fourth in scoring, averaging 24.4 points. He was the only player in the country to rank in the Top 5 in both categories this past season.

The 21-year-old lefty was named Horizon League Player of the Year in 2016 and also made the All-Horizon League's First Team the last two seasons.

He played three years at Oakland, finishing as the conference's all-time leader in assists with 788. The Detroit native set a league record for most Player of the Week honors in a single season with seven and posted the only triple-doubles in school history with two this past season.
