Projecting the Cavs’ top 3 deep shooters for 2022-23

#2: Kevin Love

The next player that will lead the Cavaliers from deep next season is Kevin Love. Love was one of the best three-point shooters for Cleveland last year, and next season should be more of the same. Since joining the Cavs, Love has made major adjustments to his game compared to his style of play with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He transitioned from more of a traditional big who was a 20-20 threat to a stretch four or five who is one of the best at what he does.

Last season, Love led the team in three-point percentage (of qualified players who played more than 25 games) at 39.2%. This was a hell of a year for Love from three and will be very difficult for him to replicate. Despite there possibly being a regression in three-point percentage from Love this season, it will not be a major one. Over his six years with the Cavaliers, he has shot 37.8% from three. This is still an incredible shooting percentage for a big man.

Look for Love to have another great season coming off of the bench for Cleveland and making another run for the Sixth Man of the Year award, of which he finishing second in the voting for last season.

He will once again be a reliable option from three and if he is able to have an even better year from three, it could mean big things for the Cavaliers.
