Drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 31st pick in the 2015 NBA Draft and then traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers on draft night, small forward Cedi Osman has shown flashes of being a dynamic offensive and defensive player since his days playing for Anadolu Efes in Turkey.
His potential matters now more than ever and his role is going to expand quickly.
It should go without saying but, with the departure of LeBron James, the Cavaliers are going to be a far different team next season. The changes they’ll have to make will be many after a player of LeBron’s magnitude departed and include offensive scheme, as Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue expressed during Las Vegas Summer League, as well as player roles.
