That's 54 points in 67 minutes. Is that bad?Falls in the category of super small sample size and we of course also had lots of blow outs losses with him playing but......

I think this season it became apparent, that until the Cavs get someone tall that can run the plays (last few words said in a mocking, airquote way), that Sexland is the way until it isn't. Garland has emerged this season as being the only guard on the team that can set up the team for better shots and it shows. Ideally, a Shaun Livingston-type would allow Sexland to be separated against several line ups.
Guess I should correct that. The 30% of games he's missed so far in the past 3 years going back to college. He's played 92 games out of 134 in 3 years. A different injury each time. Until he stays healthy for more than a month at a time, he's an injury liability.
I absolutely was concerned about Kyrie's durability before we drafted him. And he's proven to be an injury liability throughout his career.Wondering if you, arbitrarily, added the college career of Kyrie to concerns about him, too? Or, why didn't we add the HS career, as well? He's missed about 15 games into his second season. No one will confuse him with Tristan Thompson or Cal Ripken, but its hardly anything to write home about yet...

It is early yet.I think that should have been the plan after last season. I don't knock Koby for the Garland pick as much as the Okoro pick. Koby could have drafted Haliburton and ultimately secured the backcourt of the future between Sexton, Garland, and Haliburton. One might have had to be traded to make the team better but that seems like the path we are on with Sexton and Garland right now.
Okoro's fitment into this team is just a head scratcher. If he is a SF, it makes the team that much more undersized. If he is a SG and will be paired with Sexton or Garland in the future, you now have a SG that can't handle the ball or run the offense at all. We basically have a player that is a defensive specialist where traditionally alot of scoring comes from, that hurts flexibility and roster building.
I think drafting purely BPA is a flawed strategy, you have to either create flexibility in the roster or have a vision of what you want to ultimately make the team. Koby's strategy seems too much of a just put together mismatch pieces and see where it goes.
