Sharp-Shooting Rookie Gears Up for His Freshman Campaign in Cleveland
Draft picks always come with a little intrigue. Nobody is a sure thing.
Like most 19-year-olds, Cavaliers rookie Darius Garland’s resume isn’t exactly overflowing. After winning four-straight high school state titles in Tennessee, Garland played just four full games at Vanderbilt – suffering a meniscus injury to his left knee in his fifth, a home matchup against Kent State.
He didn’t play in either of Cleveland’s two Summer League stints and has barely gotten his feet wet through the Wine & Gold’s four-game preseason schedule.
