Also, that's Cleveland's own EJ Farmer, who played at Toledo and Youngstown State, at #Cavs Summer League Training Camp this week.

As a freshman last year, Jaiden Haynes showed flashes of what the @YSUMensHoops's coaching staff saw in him.

Now, as the team's lone returner from last season, @itsjaidenh is looking to take on a bigger role for the Penguins this year.

The fourth year pro out of Youngstown State @YSUMensHoops went for a new pro career high of 36 points on an unreal 8/10 shooting from 3 (!!) as his Basket Brno team lost a tough one to Decin 98-89 to tie the series at 1-1.
