The Cleveland Cavaliers coaching staff is hard at work this summer. They are evaluating film from last season’s Cavs, watching film on free agent additions such as Raul Neto and Robin Lopez, and even watching film from around the league to pick up on offensive and defensive concepts they could deploy with this team next season.

That hard work will translate to changes for the Cavs, as any good team looks to do each offseason, building on what worked last year and improving what didn’t. More so than just tinkering with the existing vehicle, the Cavs now have a shiny new component to add on: their first-round lottery pick Ochai Agbaji.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a number of lineups they can build around new draft pick Ochai Agbaji. What three groups should the Cavs try out?

The former Kansas Jayhawk was one of the best players in college basketball last season and brings a diverse skillset to the table. He can shoot, he can handle, he can cut, and he can defend. At 6’5″ he has great size at the 2 and perhaps enough to survive in certain lineups at the 3.

How will the Cavs use Agbaji with this roster and rotation next season? He will likely be part of dozens of lineups over the course of the year, but there are a few lineups the Cavs should intentionally try out using Agbaji. Here are three that come to mind.
