As for Monday -- Cleveland’s third exhibition against Maccabi Ra’Anana that was about much more than basketball given the tragic events currently taking place in Israel -- the on-court focus became the Cavs’ others.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cavs’ preseason finale on Friday night in Indiana will serve as a dress rehearsal after the third exhibition gave coach J.B. Bickerstaff an extended look at his non-starters.Will Jarrett Allen have a bigger role in Cavs’ offense? Hey, Chris!
“My expectation is we get as close to game-like as we can -- if all goes well,” Bickerstaff said, as he knocked on the table for good luck.. Those 15 players currently with the team all received minutes for the first time.Ty Jerome, Caris LeVert, Isaac Okoro, Dean Wade and Damian Jones were the fill-in starters -- a window into Bickerstaff’s thinking when it comes to most of the initial rotation.
“We are extremely fortunate that Emoni was there at ,” Bickerstaff said. “I believe that Emoni is fortunate to be here also, because I think the pairing works for his development and advancement of his career. I believe if Emoni had gone in the lottery he’d have been the type of player who’d have been in the Rookie of the Year conversation. We are extremely fortunate that he’s here with us and we look forward to working with him.
Wade, who had 13 points and missed just one shot, added to his don’t-forget-about-me camp and preseason, earning praise from Bickerstaff and giving the coach plenty to ponder when it comes to the possibility of deepening his rotation from the expected nine- or 10-man setup. “I feel like a lot of it’s just been not necessarily difficult, but guarding the guys we’ve got on this team, guarding ‘em every day in practice has definitely shown me what the NBA’s about,” Porter said while reflecting on his first NBA camp. “I feel like that’s my welcome moment just because we’ve got those guys that are talented, and they can do everything.”
“We got out of it exactly what we wanted,” Bickerstaff said. “It was an opportunity to go out and compete. And then we played Cavalier basketball. We got after it on the defensive end. We shared the ball offensively and that’s what we were looking for. You need the reps, and I think guys who may not have gotten a ton of reps got their opportunities tonight.”is an option for new users following a January 2023 launch.
