The Cleveland Cavaliers are missing up to five key player depending on what you think will become of Cavs center John Henson, who Cleveland acquired from the Milwaukee Bucks in early December in the trade that sent veteran point guard George Hill to Milwaukee in exchange for fan favorite Matthew Dellavedova.
Between Henson, David Nwaba, Larry Nance Jr., Tristan Thompson and Kevin Love, the Cavs are missing a lot of rebounds, a lot of defensive aptitude, a lot of on-court leadership and a lot of points. Most importantly though, they’re missing the mobility at the center position that teams need to thrive in pick-and-roll coverages.
