CLEVELAND: One of the biggest contributions Matthew Dellavedova made on the court for the Cavaliers last season was an ability to make open 3-pointers. Although he slumped toward the end of the season, Dellavedova consistently punished defenses who left him open around the perimeter.
Now coach Tyronn Lue is hoping Mike Dunleavy can fill that void.
Dunleavy scored 14 points in Sunday’s Wine & Gold scrimmage, including shooting 3-of-4 on 3-pointers. Last season with the Chicago Bulls, Dunleavy shot 52 percent on wide-open 3-point attempts — when the nearest defender was at least six feet away — and he’s assured of seeing more playing alongside LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love.
