The Cavs have to weaponize Darius Garland as off-ball shooter more

Darius Garland is such a multifaceted offensive player for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He had a third-year breakout for the Cavaliers in the 2021-22 season, and last season, even with some early bumps in the road, posted averages of 21.6 points and 7.8 assists per game.

Garland’s combination of wide-ranging passing abilities, pick-and-roll wizardry, ball handling prowess, quickness and deep range as a shooter all make him so difficult to account for. In this now-past season, he connected on 41.0 percent of his three-point attempts per contest in the regular season, which was a career-best, and trimmed down his turnovers a bit.
