Cavs: Best and worst-case scenarios for Darius Garland in 2021-22

Last season was a true step forward for young Cleveland Cavaliers lead guard Darius Garland.

For a number of reasons, most notably him reportedly still not being himself mentally and physically because of a prior meniscus injury that cut short his lone collegiate season at Vanderbilt, Garland underwhelmed in his rookie year.

Then, he had 12.3 points and 3.9 assists per contest, and while I didn’t think it was that rough, he hit 35.5 percent of his three-point attempts. In Year 2, though, as many Cavs fans would attest, we saw the real DG stand up and show out for the Wine and Gold.
