I was pleased with Isaiah Hartenstein‘s play for the Cleveland Cavaliers in his time with them after the trade deadline, after which he was dealt to Cleveland by the Denver Nuggets in exchange for JaVale McGee and two future second-round picks.
In that time, Hartenstein averaged 8.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 blocks in 17.9 minutes per contest in 16 appearances.
Hartenstein didn’t have much playing time in NBA action in his first two seasons with the Houston Rockets, and while he had more of one with Denver pre-deadline, he had far more action in that stint with Cleveland game-to-game comparatively.
