Maybe this year Garland will make same leap that Jalen Brunson made last year. Playing with great players like Mobley, Jarrett and Mitchell is better than empty stats on a weak team, and Cleveland did a really good job of upgrading their bench so playing with the second unit will still provide a bigger bowl for Garland to grow in.
That's definitely what Cleveland is thinking, and there's a lot of potential there. I still think they need some tweaks to how Garland is used to really maximize him. Their offense became too predictable in the playoffs, and they need to have some counters to their p&r schemes.
