On 2019 NBA All-Star Weekend in Charlotte, it was good to see young Cleveland Cavaliers wing Cedi Osman participate in the Rising Stars Challenge. Osman was a bright spot for the Cavs last season, and as noted by Basketball Reference, he would finish out the 2018-19 campaign with solid averages of 13.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game in his second season, and first as a full-time starter with the Wine and Gold.
In the 2020 Rising Stars Challenge in Chicago, though both have a ways to go as a tandem, which is just fine considering their youth, the Cavs’ starting backcourt of Collin Sexton and Darius Garland deserve to both be there representing the Wine and Gold.
