Matthew Dellavedova taking pride in mentoring Collin Sexton

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Matthew Dellavedova knows exactly why he's with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"My job is to come in and help run the second unit and make sure the second unit is playing well, but also help Collin (Sexton) as much as I can and just try to help him grow as much as I can," Dellavedova told cleveland.com Wednesday night following the Cavs' 117-92 loss against the Miami Heat. "It's a great opportunity to continue working on my leadership. It's been great so far."

The Cavs knew Dellavedova would test Sexton in practice, push him the way Dellavedova used to with Kyrie Irving.
