Starters: PG: Darius Garland SG: Donovan Mitchell SF: Max Strus PF: Evan Mobley C: Jarrett Allen Bench: PG: Lonzo Ball SG: Victor Oladipo SF: Kelly Oubre Jr. PF: DeAndre Hunter C: Larry Nance Jr. 3rd String: PG: Craig Porter Jr. SG: Tyrese Proctor SF: Sam Merrill PF: Nae'Qwan Tomlin C: Charles Bassey What Each Player Does: Darius Garland - Is the initiator and primary ball handler and is an underrated bucket getter. He is a good off ball player + on ball, he also led the Cavs in assists last season with the average for around 7 assists a game.

Donovan Mitchell - Is the secondary ball handler and is the primary bucket getter averaging around 24 ppg last season. He is also an underrated defender and is a great leader.

Max Strus - Is the Cavs glue guy by being a great 3pt shooter, doesn't need alot of shots to get hot, a pretty good defender, and is also a pretty good playmaker.

Evan Mobley - Is the Cavs best defender as he won DPOY last season, with his amazing versatility and shot blocking. He should be getting more shots next season like 15+ or something.

Jarrett Allen - Is the Cavs best rebounder and when he tries his best helps the Cavs wins games. He is also a good defender not that versatile tho.

Lonzo Ball - Is going to be such an underrated piece for the Cavs being a great passer for the Donovan Mitchell minutes without the starters, he is also one of the best on ball defenders. If he can stay healthy he will be way better then Ty Jerome.

Victor Oladipo - He is trying to make a comeback and the Cavs could use a guy like VO, he is a great defender, and a pretty good scorer. Sam Merrill could definitely get played over VO but I would much rather play VO because he is a much better defender and comes with more energy, as long as he can stay healthy he would be amazing.

Kelly Oubre Jr. - He was second in deflections last season and is a good scorer, he would be a great fit for the Cavs bench getting a secondary scorer. He is also fairly healthy atleast for the Cavs.

DeAndre Hunter - Is the Cavs best bench player and best bench scorer, he should be getting more shots off the bench this season because Ty Jerome is off the team. When he joined the team it looked like he wasn't that involved on offence, he wasn't really getting the ball. Hopefully this season he will be more involved.

Larry Nance Jr. - He's Back! He is gonna be more of a stretch 5 this time around, and we've needed a actual back up big man and Larry Nance Jr. is that.

Craig Porter Jr. - Might play a bit this season because of Lonzo/DG injury history. He looked pretty good in the game he played in Summer League, and I liked his minutes last season. He brings energy on defence and offence.

Tyrese Proctor - Is a Sharpshooter, and he can also create for himself. He is a rookie so it will take time for nerves to go away. He is also a solid defender.

Sam Merrill - Is a Sharpshooter that has always been a good shooter his whole NBA career. He was also a good defender in the playoffs.

Nae'Qwan Tomlin - Is a great hustle player and gets alot of offensive rebounds and is a good scorer in the paint and a solid 3pt shooter.

Charles Bassey - Is another small big man similar to Larry Nance Jr.
