Last season, Darius Garland‘s bounce-back campaign was just what the doctor ordered for his outlook for the Cleveland Cavaliers. After a fairly underwhelming rookie year because of a variety of factors, Garland looked like a completely different player in Year 2.

He had 17.4 points and 6.1 assists per contest, and knocked in 39.5 percent of his three-point attempts. His passing vision/abilities often popped too, and it appears as if Cleveland has a keeper looking onward in Garland.
