The Cleveland Cavaliers brought in Dunleavy to add depth to their rotation in providing another three-point threat with size on the perimeter. He had also been a bit of a thorn in their side for the last few years as a Chicago Bull, making some clutch shots and playing sound defense.
Dunleavy has been a consistent performer on the court, and a model teammate in every locker room he has been in. Those are generally attributes a coaching staff is looking for.
Nonetheless, he has not performed up to standards thus far as a Cavalier. It’s because he’s not been in rhythm.
