Osman is a key figure for the rebuilding Cavs, as the sharpshooting forward averaged 13.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, and looks to increase those stats entering into his third NBA season since being signed by Cleveland in 2017.
The Cavaliers have been left in obscurity in the Eastern Conference since the departure of LeBron James to the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2018 offseason, and they’ll be hoping players like Osman and high draft picks Darius Garland and Collin Sexton will step up alongside the veteran leadership of Kevin Love to improve on last season’s 19-63 finish, second to last in the Eastern Conference.
