Cavs: Cedi Osman making things happen in bench role is ideal for him

Cedi Osman shouldn’t be a starter regularly for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he’ll be a solid bench piece.

The Cleveland Cavaliers starting rookie Isaac Okoro on Wednesday in their 2020-21 regular season opener was the right move. Okoro has the makings of a big-time defender for Cleveland at the 3, and looking onward, he has the ability to defend a variety of positions for stretches.

As KJG’s own Amadou Sow alluded to, it’s fair to say that we should see Okoro’s playmaking come along as his rookie year progresses, too.
