Cleveland Cavaliers: Who should guard Victor Oladipo?

The Cleveland Cavaliers have one of the worst defenses among playoff teams, ranking No. 13 of the 16 in defensive rating to end the season. Needless to say, Victor Oladipo, who averaged a career-high 23.1 points per game, will be a problem for the Cavs defense, and it might be difficult for Lue to slow him down.

To some extent, who will guard Oladipo should determine how well he performs. In the Cavs four games against Indiana, Oladipo put 23, 33, 19, and 25 on the Cavs. In all four of their games, the Cavaliers roster still consisted of players like Jae Crowder and Isaiah Thomas.
