INDEPENDENCE, Ohio--Sam Dekker was born to run.
Well, at least born to run on the hardwood.
"That's really been me my whole life," Dekker said. "I've loved getting up and down the court."
Fortunately, the former Wisconsin Badgers standout is in the perfect place to do just what he loves.
Since his first day on the job in 2016, head coach Tyronn Lue has been very open about his desire for the Cavaliers to be a fast-paced, high-tempo basketball team.
At times that speed showed, but most of the time, the team's offensive tempo was dictated by LeBron James-- which was far more of a plus than a minus.
