Over the years, the wing spot has been a revolving door for the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs have been able to fetch nice wing depth, but not one real option has been able to stick next to their core four.
When Cleveland acquired De’Andre Hunter during last season’s trade deadline, they thought the problem would be fixed. However, Hunter also comes with his own issues.
In order to contend, the Cavs need to have their small forward spot solidified. Head coach Kenny Atkinson has tried a multitude of lineups to maximize that spot, but after Cleveland’s big win against the San Antonio Spurs, one thing has become clear about their wing depth.
