Definite Rotation Players

Deron Williams, Kyle Korver

Call me a pessimist but I think that only Deron Williams and Kyle Korver have locked down consistent playoff minutes. Williams and Korver have both averaged over 20 minutes per game while in Cleveland.

Even though Williams has not been great, he controls the offense as a floor general, which is a requirement for LeBron to get playoff rest. Korver is a no-brainer as he plays decent defense and is one of the best shooters of all time. While their Finals time could be minimal, throughout the playoffs they could provide different sparks off of the bench in order to give the Cavaliers a more multidimensional offensive look.

They didn’t trade for him to sit on the bench in the playoffs and hopefully, his injury is not that big of a deal. Both players were additions this year, but the nice part is that they both also possess some postseason experience which makes them more valuable.
