Caris LeVert might come off Cavs bench regularly, and that’s fine

After the Cavs get LeVert more acclimated, they’ll be able to guage whether they want him starting, and start to get their rotation more set

To reiterate, it’ll likely take some stretch of games, based on Bickerstaff’s comments via the aforementioned Dammarell, to see if it’s more sensible to have LeVert start or come off the bench more.

That’ll feasibly be a storyline to pay close attention to as we get further into the season, and the Wine and Gold gear up for a postseason push, where they’ll try to potentially get homecourt advantage in a first-round series.

Cleveland is currently sitting at the second seed in the Eastern Conference, and just one game back of the top-seeded Miami Heat; the standings have been changing day-to-day so often, however, and we’ll have to see how things shake out for the Cavaliers from here. Saturday night’s matchup is the Cavs’ first against the new-look 76ers of the regular season, to that point; they likely won’t have recent trade acquisition James Harden (hamstring injury) this go-round, though.

In any case, what is imperative is that the Cavs give LeVert enough opportunities to get his chemistry down with both Cleveland’s key offensive contributors, and in my opinion, it’d behoove the Cavs to also get him minutes with other regular rotation bench guys. And that’s definitely doable still, I believe. The likes of Kevin Love and Cedi Osman come to mind in that realm, for example, but we’ll have to see in regards to players such as Lamar Stevens and Dean Wade, especially when Markkanen is back.

Diddo for what plays out in relation to LeVert’s role going forward and as the team looks to solidify themselves in the postseason picture.

And depending on how things shake out/how he fits, in the offseason, the Cavs should have a better idea of what works with LeVert, and how they could involve Okoro still and hopefully (at least to me), one of the team’s best offensive weapons in Collin Sexton.

Cleveland does reportedly want to keep Sexton around in coming years, but it’s uncertain if he’ll end up being given a new deal, as he’s set to be a restricted free agent. I’d be all for that, it’s just tough to say right now what will transpire.
