The Cleveland Cavaliers made waves last week when they added restricted free agent Lauri Markkanen via sign-and-trade in a deal with the Chicago Bulls and Portland Trail Blazers, and it’s clear that was all about floor spacing/shooting.
Markkanen has had his share of injuries in recent seasons, but he is a bonafide catch-and-shoot threat that should aid Cleveland’s drivers, such as Darius Garland and Collin Sexton, and he hit 40.2 percent from three-point land in 2020-21.
So how about another 7-footer set to be on the roster, then, huh?
