Whether it be finding an excuse for lazy, uninspired play or a stretch of blowout losses, every year the team’s struggles seem to get pinned on a few people.
From LeBron Jamesthrowing shade at him to multiple injuries to panic attacks to temper tantrums to trade rumors to signing an albatross contract… it’s been rough.
Kevin was elected to be on Team USA’s Olympics squad; however, remarkably disappointing play resulted in him getting removed and replaced from the roster.
He still has moments where he doesn’t care enough to closeout on the open shooter in the corner, but he is among the league leaders in charges drawn, and that’s a testament to the sacrifice and commitment he’s made on the defensive end this year.
The Cavs play multiple non-threats from deep ( Jarrett Allen , Isaac Okoro, Evan Mobley, Lamar Stevens), so having him gun it from range is extraordinarily valuable.
JB Bickerstaff, Ed Davis, and Ricky Rubio (before being traded) were integral in the establishment of the team’s culture this season.
