According to Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue, Derrick Rose, J.R. Smith, Kyle Korver, Jeff Green and Tristan Thompson will form the Cleveland Cavaliers’ second unit this season.
While Lue only named the first four players by name on Monday, it’s already been discussed how former starter Tristan Thompson has moved to the Cavs bench and hopes to win the Sixth Man of the Year award this season. Thompson, who is one of the best offensive rebounders in the NBA, averaged 3.7 offensive rebounds per game last season (tied for fifth-highest in the NBA).
