Last season, Darius Garland had quite the rebound campaign for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He had 17.4 points and 6.1 assists per contest, and he knocked in 39.5 percent of his three-point attempts.

After Garland had a fairly underwhelming rookie season, in part because of a number of factors, including him reportedly having his prior meniscus injury from college in his back of his mind still, Garland looked like a different guy in Year 2.

We saw the shiftiness on display from him much more often game-to-game, and that aided him in the on-ball scoring realm, but also as a playmaker for others.
