Thus far this season, I’ve been largely pleased with how Damyean Dotson has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Coming into the season, it seemed as though Dotson would’ve been in a reserve role where he’d get some minutes at the 2 and/or potentially 3, albeit the minutes-share was uncertain.
That said, given that the Cavs have often been so thin on the perimeter/at guard, Dotson had to play more of an expanded role. Darius Garland previously had a stretch when he missed eight games due to a right shoulder sprain and Collin Sexton previously missed five outings because of a left ankle sprain.
