The Cleveland Cavaliers were particularly successful last season when they played with small lineups.Coach Ty Lue could therefore make adjustments to his starting five.Kevin Love may start on Center.
ESPN’s Dave McMenamin reported that the Cavs are thinking about letting Love start at the center position.Love confirmed that he had played for some time on the Five in the first training sessions.Tristan Thompson, on the other hand, would have to come from the bank.
“Tristan is a very dynamic player who is above all a Dunker,”explained Love,”but I play a lot of inside-out and vary what the Defense offers me.This could give us a new dimension.”
Generally speaking, the Big looks forward with confidence to the new season, also thanks to the acquisition of Dwyane Wade,”We can now offer many different lineups and are even lower with Wade.In addition, we have many options on the four and the five, which have many different qualities.”
The Cavs play their first preseason game on Thursday night.Opponents will then be the Atlanta Hawks around Dennis Schröder.
