Shot-Blocking Big Man Hopes to Finally Show His Stuff
We’re not usually in the business of publishing unflattering Cavaliers statistics, but if there’s one area where the team will look to improve this season, it’s in the shot-blocking department.
The Cavaliers haven’t had a player block over 100 shots since Big Z swatted 120 back in 2007-08. Last year, Larry Nance Jr. led the squad with 40 and the team as a whole finished with 195 total – last in the league – 136 blocks behind the 29th-ranked squad (Detroit) and 330 behind the league-leader (Golden State).
