Cavs: It’s clear the pressure’s on Cedi Osman early on in 2021-22

Cedi Osman, as probably many Cleveland Cavaliers fans would attest, didn’t have a year to remember in 2020-21. Osman did start off the season well, in fairness, and I give him his share of credit for the playmaking help he provided in mostly a rotational role, though.

On that subject, as a positive, he did have a career-best 4.1 assists per-36 minutes, along with a career-high assist rate of 17.3 percent.

His passing feel/timing for hitting shooters on the perimeter in pick-and-roll operation and from hitting extra passes aided the Cavaliers, and that was a plus.
