Last season was not one where Damyean Dotson was able to make much of an impact. Before it, Dotson and the Cleveland Cavaliers agreed to terms on a two-year, $4 million deal, with the second year set to be non-guaranteed.

Whether or not injuries early on did play into it, Dotson did aid Cleveland in some ways early on, and I give him credit for how he filled in some then as a de facto primary playmaker for stretches of games. He appeared to be a capable ball-mover last season in other times when he was regularly involved, and on the year, he had a career-best assist rate of 16.
