He has to continue to play once we’re back healthy. His court vision and quickness have been nba caliber already. His maturity and poise is far beyond that of a rookie. There was a point late in OT when Garland was really forcing things with his hurt hand where the sixers scored and the ball got check into him and Garland called for it to bring it up and CPJ waved him off and told him he’d take up and then got the ball back to Garland to set the office at half court. The confidence to do that as a rookie while being able to recognize that the ball needs to get back to Garland is impressive. That and a dozen other things have impressed me so much

He’s becoming that fourth guard we needed for Defensive and energy purposes. Every time he enters the court it feels like the Cavs get a new burst of energy. He truly has that sixth man energy impact seen in guys like Naz Reid around the league. With him and Levert leading our second unit with complementary players like Okoro I think he can be major in addressing our limited depth.

He’ll make All-Rookie first team by the end of the season
