Darius Garland
Darius Kinnard Garland (born January 26, 2000) is an American professional basketball player for the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball at Vanderbilt. Born in Gary, Indiana as the son of former basketball player Winston Garland, Garland attended Brentwood Academy in high school. He joined the varsity basketball team in eighth grade and left as a four-time state champion and three-time Tennessee Mr. Basketball winner. He was a five-star recruit, ranked among the best point guards in the 2018 class, and a McDonald's All-American. Garland committed to Vanderbilt as the best recruit in program history. After five games, his college career was cut short by a meniscus injury, which prompted him to leave the team to prepare for the NBA draft.

Cavs: Darius Garland could be very good but not the next great NBA point guard

Darius Garland could be good but stats argue against him being great. The Cavs have an assistant coach in Greg Buckner who believes in Darius Garland and his ability to be great. The coach joined the Cavs to be J.B. Bickerstaff’s number one on the bench and believed he saw Garland flash star potential. Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reported on a conversation that Buckner had with Bickerstaff, where Buckner said Garland could be great.

Cavs: Darius Garland should assert himself more in early clock

Next season, I’d expect Cleveland Cavaliers lead guard Darius Garland to build off his second campaign. In 2020-21, Garland looked like a different player, and as compared to his rookie season, in which he reportedly still had his prior meniscus injury from college in the back of his mind, Year 2 for him was quite the bounce-back year.

Cavs: Trae Young’s floaters are key, which should matter to Darius Garland

It’s difficult for me to be too critical of Darius Garland for his performance in his second season for the Cleveland Cavaliers. After a fairly underwhelming rookie campaign in which he did reportedly still have his prior meniscus injury that cut his lone collegiate season at Vanderbilt still in the back of his mind, Garland rebounded in Year 2.

Cavs want Darius Garland, Collin Sexton shooting 8 threes per game

Last season, Darius Garland and Collin Sexton were key bright spots, for the most part, for the Cleveland Cavaliers. After a fairly underwhelming rookie campaign, Garland bounced back in a big way with 17.4 points and 6.1 assists per outing, and it was apparent that he no longer had his prior meniscus injury dating back to college in the back of his mind. He reportedly did have that be the case in his first season; in Year 2 for him though, he looked like a different player.

Cavs: Darius Garland, Taurean Prince can help Isaac Okoro with handle

Isaac Okoro had his share of flashes on-ball in his first season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, even with him having some rookie struggles offensively. 9.6 points per outing in 32.4 minutes on average was not exactly tearing it up overall, but Okoro did show positive signs as a scorer and his driving abilities were a plus.

Cavs Rumor: Darius Garland, not Collin Sexton is the centerpiece

A rumor has the Cavs believing Darius Garland is their best player and not Collin Sexton. The Cavs have a heck of a point guard in Darius Garland, at least that’s their belief. The second-year player huge leaps in his play in 2020-2021 so it’s not out of the realm to believe that his upside is higher than that of Collin Sexton. Cue Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com who’s reporting that the Cavs see Garland as the team’s best player.
