CLEVELAND — He entered the league as an undrafted free agent who used to get by on hustle alone. Matthew Dellavedova has now become a key part of the Cleveland Cavaliers' rotation.
The hustle is still there, sure, but Dellavedova has made huge strides in both his shooting and ball-handling ability. He's leaped ahead of veteran Mo Williams on the depth chart, serving as Cleveland's first guard off the bench.
And while his numbers have improved each season, it's Dellavedova's three-point shooting, assist-to-turnover ratio and on/off rating (the measure of a player's offensive and defensive impact per 100 possessions) that stand near the top of the NBA among some big names.
