Cavs: Maybe Cedi Osman can be more efficient, albeit in less minutes

Others will be in the mix for the Cavs, but if Osman can be efficient, he can still be a rotational factor

As we alluded to, Windler, provided he can stay healthy, could very be a productive bench contributor in some minutes at the 2/3 spots.

We’ll need to see it play out, sure, but the shooting capabilities are there for Windler if he get into a rhythm, and his finishing, team defense and rebounding were positives from when he was in there last season.

From there, we’ll have to see on Valentine, and to some extent if Isaac Okoro can take a step forward.

With Stevens, he could seemingly be a defensive chess piece-type player in spurts, and it’s not a certainty if he or Stevens, both of whom are non-guaranteed, however, Dean Wade could reportedly factor in some at the 3 as well. He did occasionally play there for Cleveland, and I thought he held his own defensively, and did provide meaningful catch-and-shoot play.

So, circling back, in regards to Osman, he could still feasibly get some playing time for Cleveland pretty regularly, though, I’d think, as he still has shown he can get hot, and has flashed some movement shooting.

He could seemingly benefit from being more comfortable in coming off the bench this season, too, and function more so as a secondary playmaker/ball-mover, as opposed to spending a fair amount of the time on the ball.

That sort of thing occured last year, even in minutes he was formally on the wing, given Cleveland’s lack of consistency with their backup 1 situation last season.
