2024 Cavs Team Projections
There is no doubting coach J.B. Bickerstaff began the season on one of the hottest of hot seats, especially after Mike Budenholzer (Bucks), Doc Rivers (76ers), and Monty Williams (Suns) lost their jobs following playoff flameouts last spring.
But given the fact that Mitchell needed to learn a new system, and the loss of Collin Sexton in the backcourt robbed the Cavs of a second speed starter in the backcourt, Bickerstaff gets more time to make this work. The dude did have 51 regular season wins, an improvement of seven over the previous season. His players liked him, and he had never coached a player of Mitchell's caliber before. Keeping a superstar fed while also keeping the supporting cast happy is a balancing act that Bickerstaff is still learning.

Key Contributors on the Cavs Roster
Donovan Mitchell scored 10th in the league with an average of 28.3 points while shooting a career-best 48.4 shooting percentage from the field. He is the Cavaliers' go-to player, and Darius Garland remains one of the NBA's greatest speed freaks, whose assists average of 7.8 was seventh-best in the NBA and complimented his 21.7 points per game scoring average.
Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley are the defensive anchors along the front line, with Mobley averaging 16.2 points and 9.0 rebounds, and Caris LeVert is their Swiss army knife off the bench. Max Strus and Ty Jerome should provide additional three-point shooting to replace what the Cavs got from the departed Cedi Osman.
