Cleveland Cavaliers: 3 players Darius Garland should study
By Tony Pesta
Darius Garland will need to study these players if he wants to have a successful rookie season with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are counting on Darius Garland to become the star they envisioned when they selected him fifth overall in the 2019 NBA Draft.
Garland has the potential to be an elite scorer at the NBA level. A talented ball handler with deep shooting range and adept finishing ability has Garland on pace to be a big-time producer on the offensive end.
The learning curve will be steep for Garland. Luckily, there is plenty of room for failure as the Cavaliers are already a poor team. This means DG will have the opportunity to grow and learn the game without too much pressure early on.
Garland should be looking to learn a few things throughout his rookie season. Imitation is one of the easiest ways to develop. Copying the habits and tendencies of an established star is a great idea for young players.
There are a ton of elite guards to choose from. However, there are three players in particular that Garland can learn valuable information from.
