Up until July 1, Cedi Osman was the longest-tenured player on the Cleveland Cavaliers. Drafted in 2015 with the 31st overall pick, and then subsequently traded to Cleveland with another second-round pick for Tyus Jones, Osman was a fan favorite instantly when he came to Cleveland.
Even though he was drafted, he played overseas, and didn’t come to play for the Cavs until the 2017-18 season, where he played 61 games, but only played 11.0 minutes per game. His numbers weren’t amazing, and that was okay. Osman was still a young player, and the Cavaliers were trying to compete for a championship with LeBron James.
