In just his third season, Darius Garland is on a superstar trajectory. Garland has taken a massive step forward, averaging 21.4 points, 8.6 assists, and 3.3 rebounds while shooting 46.7% from the field, all career-highs. A major reason for why the Cavs ascended from the basement of the Eastern Conference into a playoff team is the improvement of Garland.
