It's clear that Dylan Windler, who is fully healthy and has looked good in preseason, needs to be involved in the Cavs rotation early.

The Cavs signing Ed Davis was because of his intangibles, and also on Wednesday, the team signed Justin James via camp deal.
Who have been some standout performers for the Cavs in their preseason play thus far? We'll get into that here by highlighting the top three.
Ricky Rubio's comments show that Evan Mobley looks to be a star in the making, and the Cavs veteran seems to be very bullish on the rookie.
Neither big Mfiondu Kabengele, nor guard/wing Brodric Thomas being waived by the Cavs was a shocker heading into the 2021-22 season.
Offseason trade acquisition Ricky Rubio seems to be getting comfortable with his new Cavs teammates leading into the regular season.
He's not set to have nearly the role he had before, but Kevin Love as a bench hub for the Cavs is a cause one can get behind.
It was just a Cavs preseason game, sure, but Dylan Windler's performance against the Indiana Pacers on Friday was promising.
Cavs third-year point guard Darius Garland must take another step forward in regards to free throws this upcoming season.
The Cavs starting backcourt play has been a mixed bag, but the uptick of 3s/seemingly the mindset of both has been encouraging in preseason.
Cavs wing Dylan Windler needs to be getting more preseason reps to help get him in some of a rhythm heading into the regular season.
Ricky Rubio has made a noticeable impact for the Cavs through two preseason games, and he'll help; he just needs to be selective from three, clearly.
It was definitely not a great outing for the Cavs in their first game of the preseason at the Chicago Bulls, but Evan Mobley's defense jumped out.
Cedi Osman had his share of inconsistencies last season for the Cavs, but maybe he can be more efficient, albeit in less minutes in 2021-22.
The Cavs should experiment a bit with their three key bigs, in Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen and Lauri Markkanen, some in preseason.
Cavs head coach J.B. Bickerstaff and the team wants big Lauri Markkanen to be multi-faceted, and not just be a spot-up player.
He's set for a reduced role, but he'll still get chances to contribute, and to that point, Kevin Love has to stay ready for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Thanks to the spacing, perimeter shooting and off-ball boost he could provide for the Cavs, Lauri Markkanen could end up being a seamless fit.
Promising young point guard Darius Garland seems primed to take transition threes more regularly in 2021-22 for the Cavs.
Heading into this third season with the Cavs, rotational wing Dylan Windler has lofty goals, but it's nice to know that he's seemingly in the right place.
