What they're saying about Garland....
[Darius Garland] is looking like a very dynamic point guard,” a Cavs assistant told cleveland.com. “He seems to have a lot of confidence right now. His future looks great.”
I can’t say enough positive things about Darius and how high my expectations are for him next season and the growth I think everybody will see because of the work he has put in….And then for him growing into that position, which I think he’s capable of, which the great point guards do. I think he’s got an opportunity to be one of those.- JB Bickerstaff
The speed is there, the shiftiness is there, the ability to finish in traffic, make shots, make the right plays. There’s a different Darius Garland in the building right now…There’s been a commitment on his end and physically he looks different. There’s a doggedness to him when you watch him defend. He’s there to prove a point. - Larry Nance Jr
Seeing K.P. (Kevin Porter Jr.) grow, seeing Darius [Garland] grow and seeing what we have here that’s exploding in a year like this, it gives me a lot of confidence. It should give a lot of people around here confidence that we are doing the right things and building this the right way. - Larry Nance, Jr
Exploding? Interesting choice of words. Nance is Garland's biggest fan...
When we did the minibubble, he was pretty far and away the best player there -- dominated the gym at times. He was awesome. He’s been healthy, he’s been shifty, he’s been shooting the heck out of it. If I had to pick one, that’s who my eye is on -- Darius Garland. - Larry Nance Jr
