Five questions for our staff on the Raptors-Cavaliers series. Game 5 takes place Wednesday night in Cleveland:
How much can Jonas Valanciunas help if he comes back?
Doug Smith: Not much, to be honest. His mobility aside — it’s been a while since he was anywhere near game speed — if he is having an impact, all the Cavaliers will do is put out an all-shooting frontcourt of either LeBron James with Channing Frye or Frye with Kevin Love and there’s no one for Valanciunas to cover.
Chris O’Leary: In his limited role, Valanciunas would be a breather option for Bismack Biyombo and a more polished scoring option under the basket for however long he’s on the floor.
