Darius Garland has had a heck of a bounce-back in Year 2 for the Cleveland Cavaliers. On the season, he’s had 17.7 points and 6.2 assists per outing, and has hit 39.4 percent of his three-point attempts.

He’s frankly looked like a different player. After Garland was reportedly still affected mentally by his prior meniscus injury that cut his lone collegiate season at Vanderbilt short, and had a fairly underwhelming rookie campaign, he’s been fully himself this season.
