Goal #1: Have Six Double-Figure Scorers

As has been mentioned throughout this offseason, the Cleveland Cavaliers need balance. Love is obviously the first scoring option, and he’ll have his chances. The ancillary pieces around him need to be able to fill it up as a group, though.

Last season, Cleveland had five players average double-figures in the regular season post-All-Star break, per NBA.com. Hill and Korver would be obvious choices, but with the uncertainty surrounding them, they’re not included here. Even without those two, there’s names that immediately jump out to me.

That leaves the other perimeter threats. Myself and other NBA Analysis Network writers have touched on how Sexton and Clarkson will do their part in getting to the lane via drives and can sink pull-ups. Sexton especially should be able to live at the free throw line, along with Osman and Hood.

Cleveland should have better speed on the wing, and it appears they could have more playmakers in the long-term. With James, wings were mainly relied on for spot-up shooting. That can take players out of rhythm.

In addition, Nance should be able to feast as a roller. The lob passes will be there for Nance from the guards, and his production will increase with more minutes. Nwaba, Zizic and two-way prospect Billy Preston could have some double-digit cameos, too.

The point is, the Cleveland Cavaliers need their young players to be aggressive.
