From losing the Big Three to reorganizing the Big Three, the Cavaliers took only 4 years...
How many people think that after James left in 2018, this Cavaliers will be in a slump, not to mention returning to the championship ranks, that is, to become a playoff-level team, it may take seven or eight years, or even longer, as long as the Kings, after all, after James's last departure, the Cavaliers have been deeply rebuilt for a long time, even if they hold multiple high-rollers, they can't play, but this time, the Cavaliers have unusually and quickly completed the reconstruction.
I have to admit that the new manager Kobe Allsman, who took office in 17 years, does have two brushes and several high-signing draft picks, and none of them are wasted.
In 2018, Sexton was selected with the No. 8 pick in the first round, and before his injury, he had completed two consecutive seasons of averaging 20+ per game, a very efficient scorer, although it seemed to lack leadership talent, but as the second boss of the team, or the sixth man, it was more than enough;
In 2019, Darius Garland was selected with the first round of No. 5 picks, don't look at it as a third-year student, but he has shown the temperament of a teenager, this season, he can average 20.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 8.0 rebounds, plus 1.2 steals, shooting 48%, three-point shooting rate of 37.9%, is the current Cavaliers team's scoring king, assist king, absolute offensive core;
In 2020, Isaac Okoro was selected with the first round of the No. 5 pick, compared to the top 2, Okoro's growth rate is indeed slow, but under the limited use of the ball, his performance is also quite remarkable, especially the defensive end, which can inject a considerable amount of energy into the team, and the future training direction will also be a little more defensive 3D;
In 2021, Evan Mobley was selected with the first round No. 3 pick, although the rookie season is not over, but from the current performance, he is more like a champion than Cunningham and Jaylen Green, especially the defensive end, which has reached the level of DPOY level, averaging 0.8 steals and 1.6 blocks per game, limiting the opponent's shooting rate, and it is the level of the top five in the same position;
In addition to the draft's keen eye, Olsman's operation is also commendable, especially this, in last year's 4-party deal against Harden, he only used a first-round pick from the Bucks, plus a garbage contract from Exam, in exchange for Jarrett Allen, look at the current Allen, has grown into the league's top blue-collar center, averaging 16 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists per game, With 0.7 steals and 1.3 blocks, he not only has a strong ability to finish under the basket, but also has a first-class defense, supporting the Cavaliers' defensive system with Mobly.
As of now, the Cavaliers have only conceded 105.8 points per 100 rounds of defensive efficiency, ranking 4th in the league, relying on such a tough defense, the Cavaliers have won one game after another, with a record of 35 wins and 23 losses, temporarily ranking 4th in the East, higher than the defending champion Bucks.
It is safe to say that the Cavaliers have completed the reconstruction, Garland, Allen and Mobley, is their main framework for the next few years, it is worth mentioning that in this year's All-Star Game, the Cavaliers these 3 cores, selected 2, although Mobley failed to be selected, but in the skill challenge that requires teamwork, the three of them joined forces to win the championship, and from Mobley's entire shooting, passing technology, he will not be just a defensive No. 4 position in the future.
Looking at their age, Garland and Mobley are both after 00, and the oldest Aaron is only 23 years old, as long as Aalsman gives enough support behind, the Cavaliers' 3 young people are definitely worth looking forward to, and it is not impossible to compete for the championship.
