The Cleveland Cavaliers have a promising young lead guard in Darius Garland, who had 17.4 points and 6.1 assists in a bounce-back campaign in 2020-21, and he looks to be just scratching the surface.

It has been clear though, whether or not Collin Sexton ends up being traded, as he has been in rumors throughout this month, that Cleveland needed to get more legitimacy at the backup 1 spot.

The likes of T.J. McConnell and Alex Caruso have been rumored to be potential free agency targets in that realm, and I’d have been on-board with either.
