We’re also playing without one of our best two way players in Nance and a guy who even though he has his own issues and is not a part of the long term, does open up some things on offense(Love)
Last year our winning percentage was 29%
Did you really think based on the small changes to last years roster that we were going to be or should be expected to be a .500 team?
With few exceptions, teams that do improve progressively over consecutive seasons, usually improve by maybe 6-10 wins per year, except in the cases of massive trades or acquisitions involving generational players in their prime.
I‘ trying to get a handle and understanding for what you were expecting?
So I should enter the season expecting exactly zero of the Cavs draft picks to look like future star level players, despite three straight lotteries? My expectations should be what, then?
For reference on Garland: He's currently sporting 13.8 PER, gets 5 assists a game and a little over 2 rebounds. He never, ever gets to the FT line and is generally afraid to shoot anything other than a set 3 pointer.
So, yea. He's better than last year. But that's sorta underselling just how damn bad he was last year. He was truly a terrible player in every facet. So if there was NO improvement at all, he'd just be a straight up bust at this point.
And I can't stress this enough: If neither one of them are going to be consistent star level players and above, then the Cavs probably messed up drafting them back to back.
People seem to missing the fact that the Cavs have NOT drafted for fit, at all. They've drafted three guards in a row. So this whole idea that they're improving into some nice, solid players is....not good enough. Because if that's all we've got, then they can't work together.
