On this episode of Locked On Cavs, Danny Cunningham (The Inside Shot, 92.3 The Fan, Cleveland Magazine) discusses the unique challenge Kenny Atkinson has as he navigates a roster brimming with 14 capable players vying for just 10-11 spots. Rookie sensation Jaylon Tyson is turning heads in training camp, showcasing his ability to impact the game without the ball, while Isaac Okoro is poised for an expanded offensive role beyond corner threes. Atkinson's philosophy of a 10-player rotation aims to strike a balance between on-court chemistry, player development, and winning. With the Cavaliers' depth, there's a strong focus on developing talent across the roster, not just the younger players.
