Dante Exum highlighting ‘closeness’ of Cavs should allow him to fit right in soon

The Cleveland Cavaliers no longer have bench scoring dynamo Jordan Clarkson, who was having another rock solid season getting buckets off the pine in 2019-20 with 14.6 points per game, which was third on Cleveland in scoring, as noted by NBA.com.

The Cavaliers reportedly traded Clarkson to the Utah Jazz in exchange for then-Utah guard Dante Exum and two future second-round picks in 2022 (via the San Antonio Spurs) and in 2023 (via the Golden State Warriors), as reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

As I hit on, Exum’s reportedly had injury struggles throughout his career that have unfortunately limited him throughout, as evidenced by an ACL tear that caused him to miss the whole 2015-16 season, and a torn patellar tendon cut his season short last year.
