Last season, we saw Darius Garland really come into his own for the Cleveland Cavaliers. In his first season with Cleveland, his prior meniscus injury that cut short his lone collegiate campaign at Vanderbilt was reportedly in the back of his mind, and he appeared somewhat hesitant.
It wasn’t just the prior injury though, as Garland didn’t nearly have the feel he displayed as a playmaker/scoring threat last season then, either. Garland was, no matter how you slice it, fairly underwhelming in Year 1.
