Cavaliers need Caris LeVert to set the tone for their bench

When the Cleveland Cavaliers re-signed Caris LeVert, nobody should’ve been surprised. The two sides reportedly had mutual interest in LeVert being back with Cleveland, and while his contract being for $32 million on a two-year deal may have been a bit of an overpay, he’s a player that has plenty of value for them.

LeVert took time to get going last season as a scorer, and in the 2022-23 campaign, he had only 12.1 points per contest, which was below his career splits of 14.1 points per game.

He was seemingly having issues finding his rhythm alongside Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell, and last season, he was not nearly as effective inside the arc than in years past for much of the year.
