Could we see Kevin Pangos in the NBA in the 2021-22 season?

The Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to a two-year, $3.5 million contract with Canadian point guard Kevin Pangos, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.

The first-year salary of Pangos' deal worth $1.67 million is fully guaranteed, per Marks.

The East Gwillimbury, Ontario native, played last season with Zenit Saint Petersburg and was named All-Euroleague First Team, averaging 13.5 points and 6.6 assists while shooting 44.9 percent from the field and 39.0 percent from the 3-point line.

The 28-year-old went undrafted after playing four seasons at Gonzaga, spending the next six seasons in Europe with Gran Canaria, Zalgiris Kaunas, FC Barcelona and Saint Petersburg.

Pangos adds experience and depth to the Cavaliers backcourt and will serve as a backup option to Darius Garland, Collin Sexton and Ricky Rubio.
