It’s difficult for me to be too critical of Darius Garland for his performance in his second season for the Cleveland Cavaliers. After a fairly underwhelming rookie campaign in which he did reportedly still have his prior meniscus injury that cut his lone collegiate season at Vanderbilt still in the back of his mind, Garland rebounded in Year 2.
He had 17.4 points and 6.1 assists per outing, and in games in which he started (there were a handful he didn’t coming over injuries), he had 18.
