The Cavaliers have surged since the turn of the calendar in large part due to Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen establishing themselves as their top two stars and others stepping into roles that complement their strengths.
If you only pay attention to the headlines or the first 15 minutes of any NBA podcast, you might think it’s the Clippers or the Knicks. And, no doubt, both are hot and have established themselves as legitimate contenders in their respective conferences. But neither is the hottest team in the basketball.
That’s in large part due to Mitchell and Allen establishing themselves as Cleveland’s top two stars and others stepping into roles that complement their strengths. This is the best two-way basketball Mitchell has played for his career, and he’s done it for nearly 50 games and has the Cavaliers positioned to make an even stronger run. But more on Mitchell in a bit.
During this stretch, Cleveland also uncovered contributors like Sam Merrill and Craig Porter Jr. from the end of the bench. Caris LeVert deserves Sixth Man of the Year consideration. Ever since the Cavs traded for Mitchell two summers ago, the question was whether he could co-exist with Garland in the backcourt. Both need the ball on offense and are undersized on defense. It only takes a glance at the Atlanta Hawks to see how a similar experiment could go poorly.
