So in his first two seasons in the league he’s killed it after about game 40 both years, what can the cavs coaches do to unlock this earlier in the season?
 
He was 12th in the East in scoring last season, just 0.5 ppg from cracking the top-10. Seems more likely than not he'll eventually be a top-5 scorer in the East, at which point he's automatically in the All-Star conversation.

Didn’t they get rid of the East vs west all stars? I thought it was just the 12 best with the starters voted in. Or something along those lines.
 
Lowry, Middleton, Westbrook, Kemba and CP3 all could make or not make it any given year going forward. The question is, how does Collin elevate himself past guys like Morant, Curry (who was hurt this year), Klay (also hurt), Beal, Irving, Oladipo, Fox, Murray.....AND this group above.

Its going to be tough as hell unless he not only improves significantly, but also we become a legitimate playoff team.

He's going to build off his scoring. It is going to open more stuff up for him and it already has. His assists are going to go up as guys sell out to stop him. He raised his assists by 1 whole assist after Christmas. He had 2 a game for months and then made it back to 3 a game. He's going to be a drive and kick guy. At some point they will wall off the paint and he will have to pass. He doesn't have great vision, but he can react to coverage. Harden's and Curry's assist games are built this way. They make great passes off how guys are guarding them more than seeing everything and passing guys open. They are open, and these guys just find them. Sexton can build on that.

Not saying he cant. I was just saying there are alot of guys who will eat up spots. Most of which are on winning teams. Itll be very hard for Collin to get in unless he makes monumental strides or we become a legitimate contender. Otherwise, eyes will be on other players. I mean look how long it took Devin Booker to make an ASG.

Yeah I totally agree with you. Adam is right too. IF they continue to not make the playoffs and he just puts up good numbers, he prob won't make it. There are so many good guards, so space it tight. He is on an elite trajectory as far as scoring though.

If they make a playoff series and the cavs lose, but Milwaukee or Boston can't stop him, which they have both had big problems, it would impact.

I was just saying that there are a lot of people especially in the media that see him as an inefficient scorer. He scored pretty efficiently this last year though.

He can be more than one dimensional was all I was saying. He can build off that one dimension. Does just being in Cleveland hurt him, yeah. Devonte Graham is being touted as a beast even though he is only better than Collin in one category assists. He is prob a better defender too, but he is more than 3 years older. There is a certain hype that must be reached, and Collin is just not on the radar. I am not sure why Graham is with his age and being on Charlotte is considered the better prospect now. Maybe because he was totally not known when drafted. I see re-drafts of him being drafted ahead of Collin and I can't believe it.

Or even look at Beal who averaged an efficient 30-6-4 this year and didn't make it.

Being on a bad team is a big drawback.

Beal really got screwed this year. He was more deserving than either of the two guys who started that game. Walker played for the Celtics, so that's a winning team. Young's team was beyond shitty, but he gets the flashy coverage because of the hype, so he got the fan vote. But most years, Beal's in. Heck, he made it in the past 2 years with worse numbers.
