Collin Sexton and Cedi Osman continue to impress, and the present and the future is looking promising for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
In front of Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, Sexton and Osman continue to put on a show in a win against the Pacers, as the Cleveland Cavaliers move to 2-1 in summer league play.
Osman sat out Saturday night’s game against Chicago, but it looks like sitting him out did not slow him down at all.
Osman’s shot has continued to improve and get better, and you can tell he is taking lessons from Kyle Korver on his shooting.
Exhibit A:
In all seriousness, Osman's jumper has changed dramatically since the Regular Season. Take a look at him coming off this handoff in a late season game against the Knicks pic.twitter.com/mA7hqeNTTI

Now take a look at him coming off a hand-off in Summer League. Notice how the form is much more compact. Release is lower and more out than up. Exaggerated twist on the release with the right leg coming forward pic.twitter.com/V8VpGniS1W

As for the Korver comparisons, they are hard to ignore. Here's Korver coming to his right off a DHO this year against Portland. I will let all of you be the judge... pic.twitter.com/FtuQnGIpW2

This improvement from Osman should have Cavs fans excited. The improvement from his shooting is clearly showing in two games he has played in summer league. Osman has definitely been working on a lot of things on his game since the end of the season, but it is his shot that has improved the most. It also looks like he has gotten bigger and also stronger.
Osman finished with 25 points, six rebounds, six assists, one steal and block.
