As for his backcourt counterpart, Darius Garland, he is the one receiving backlash due to a down season. This past season, Garland averaged 18 points per game, 6.5 assists per game and shot 44.6 percent from the field. From three-point range, his average was 37.1 percent and from the free throw line, he made 83.4 percent.
While Garland's production dropped this past season, it appeared like his confidence was shaken. Not only that, but he was lacking aggressiveness and the desire to drive to the basket. So what could be the root cause of a difficult year for him? When Garland's jaw was finally healed and he was able to return to the court, he certainly looked more lean from a spectators vantage point. Garland worked hard during the season and reportedly gained ten of those pounds back. While he focused on his health, Garland's scoring presence took a hit.
Now that the offseason is underway for the Cavaliers, Garland has an opportunity to first add some more weight and muscle and then regain his confidence as a shooter. Physically getting right could get his mind right. The aggressiveness and desire to drive to the lane may return in 2024.
