Cavs: Darius Garland should assert himself more in early clock

Next season, I’d expect Cleveland Cavaliers lead guard Darius Garland to build off his second campaign.
In 2020-21, Garland looked like a different player, and as compared to his rookie season, in which he reportedly still had his prior meniscus injury from college in the back of his mind, Year 2 for him was quite the bounce-back year.
He had 17.4 points and 6.1 assists per outing, and knocked in 39.5 percent of his three-point attempts, which was a step up from his Year 1, in which he hit 35.5 percent from downtown.
