Darius Garland had his share of struggles in year 1 for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
In his first season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, young guard Darius Garland came in with high expectations. Unfortunately, he had his ups and downs, and him hitting just 40.1 percent of his shots as a rookie was fairly underwhelming.
He mightily struggled defensively, albeit many young guards have their issues on that end of the floor. He had some problems getting a feel as a playmaker it seemed earlier on as well, and clearly, the adjustment with him and Collin Sexton together for considerable stretches led to often an uneven time for both.
