Cedi Osman, in his first NBA season, will excite Cleveland Cavaliers’ fans, but his game would improve even more if he studied the film of these greats.

The Turkish star, Cedi Osman, is finally going to be making his NBA debut this season. The Cleveland Cavaliers traded for Osman the night of the 2015 NBA Draft. They sent the Minnesota Timberwolves, the team that technically picked Osman, Tyus Jones and more.

That night, Osman was taken as the first pick in the second round. He heard his name called but not much would change. The Cavaliers kept him overseas while using their already loaded roster to bolster up for several Finals’ trips. Now, three straight Finals behind them, it is time for Osman to contribute on this team.

Osman, who just competed with his homeland Turkey in the FIBA EuroBasket2017, showed his wide array of talents. He created steals, had chase blocks, and scored at will. Osman showed that he ready for the next step. Here are the highlights from one of his FIBA games.

Osman is good, but like we proved yesterday, even the best can still improve. That said, without any formal stats, we’re going to look at three players that compare well to Cedi. When it’s all said and done, these three players have similar games to Cedi, and he should aspire to score, defend, and succeed like them.
