Cavs: Cedi Osman’s outlook is cloudier with Lauri Markkanen in fold

Last season was not one to write home about for Cedi Osman. It was not all on him necessarily, as Osman was shifted to mostly a bench role for the Cleveland Cavaliers with the arrival of Isaac Okoro, and at times throughout the season, he had to fill in as even a de facto primary playmaking presence.

Osman having a career-best 4.1 assists per-36 minutes in 2020-21 was a positive, in that realm, and I do acknowledge that he is a quality passer for Cleveland.
