This summer, the Cleveland Cavaliers traded Isaac Okoro for veteran point guard Lonzo Ball of the Chicago Bulls. Lonzo presented an escape from a revolving door of backup point guards who never really fit what Cleveland needed.

With Darius Garland in the starting five, the Cavs' offense heavily depends on a maestro point guard who can dish out timely assists and collapse defenses with ball handling and dribbling drives to the hoop.
