The Cleveland Cavaliers had a prime reinforcement for this season.
Ty Jerome barely played in his first campaign with the organization, as he was limited to 15 minutes with an ankle injury.
Now, the young guard is finally living up to the expectations.
Jerome scored 20 points off the bench to lift the Cavaliers past the Golden State Warriors.
Following the win, he raved about the confidence the team is playing with amid the 10-0 start to the season (via FanDuel Sports Network Cleveland).

Jerome has been one of the most efficient reserves in the entire league.
Through the first ten games of the campaign, he’s averaging 10.6 points to go along with 3.1 assists per game.
He’s knocking down shots at a 62.3% clip and 61.1% from beyond the arc.
On top of that, his decision-making has been superb for the team.
Even with Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland also on the floor, Jerome has been the de facto playmaker, taking elite care of the basketball and serving as another scoring threat from the perimeter.
The Cavaliers were always expected to be a playoff team.
Then again, they’ve exceeded most expectations this season.
Needless to say, their chances of winning each and every single game this season are pretty slim.
There will be some speedbumps along the way, and the biggest challenge will be coping with that.
But so far, there are no reasons to think this hot start to the season was a fluke, as they’re not just winning, they’re blowing their opponents out.
