The Cleveland Cavaliers are currently in the post-LeBron James and Kyrie Irving era.
While the Cavs no longer have superstars like James or Irving on the roster, there are still a few players who have kept the franchise relevant.
One of those players is none other than the fifth overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, Darius Garland.
Over the past five years or so, Garland has steadily developed into an excellent scorer and playmaker for the Cavaliers.
So much so that Garland recently joined an exclusive club alongside LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and Mark Price, as revealed via Bally Sports Cleveland.

As per the tweet, Garland is only the fourth player in the Cavaliers’ history to have more than 5000 points, 1500 assists, and 500 three-pointers to his name.
Considering the list only includes three more players in James, Irving, and Price, Garland has already established himself as a solid star for the Cavaliers.
This season, Darius Garland is averaging 20.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game for the Cavaliers.
The 23-year-old guard will hope to make the second NBA All-Star appearance of his career.
But above that, Garland must be trying to lead the Cavaliers to a decent seed in the Eastern Conference.
As of now, the Cavaliers are the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference with a 13-10 record.
The Cavs were on a three-game winning streak before their most recent loss at the hands of the Orlando Magic.
Can Darius Garland help the Cleveland Cavaliers reclaim their glory days in the Eastern Conference?
