The Cavaliers tipped off the preseason Tuesday night in Chicago and the youthful Cavs proved they have a lot of growing up to do in a 131-95 loss.

There were glimpses of the the potential of a team that started five players in their early 20s, but they were too few and far between to compete with the Bulls.

Rookie Evan Mobley flashed his athleticism playing alongside starting guards Collin Sexton and Darius Garland and forwards Isaac Okoro and Jarrett Allen.

Veterans Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio will be charged with mentoring the young guys and providing plenty of production as well.
