Cavs: Team USA guards should show importance of 3s for Darius Garland

It’s difficult to be too critical of Darius Garland‘s play from this now-past season for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Yes, his first year was underwhelming, but he wasn’t himself/at his best, because of a variety of reasons.

In Year 2 though, he looked like a different player, and ended up having a bounce-back campaign. Garland had 17.4 points and 6.1 assists per contest, and knocked in 39.5 percent of his three-point attempts.

Taking that sort of thing into consideration, it’s understandable why Garland is a member of the Team USA Select squad, of whom is currently training with/scrimmaging some against the Team USA squad that’s set to play in the Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
