Thompson is a perfect example of a player who has taken full advantage of this season to display his growth. Playing in his ninth NBA season, Thompson is scoring at a career-best rate and has become the team’s vocal leader.

Meanwhile, Darius Garland has continued to make strides. As a rookie, the learning curve has been steep for DG. After a slow start to the season, Garland has averaged 16.0 points and 4.9 assists across his last seven games.

As the Cavaliers continue to move forward with their rebuild, it is vital that each player works on strengthening their weaknesses. The squad has three glaring weaknesses as a whole and fixing these issues should be at the top of the Cavs priority list.
