The Cleveland Cavaliers are on a roll right now.
Kenny Atkinson has instilled a newfound confidence in some of his players, particularly on offense, and they’re having their best year since Donovan Mitchell came to town.
Fans already knew what Mitchell was capable of, but Darius Garland has finally been more aggressive and consistent.
Evan Mobley has also taken a step forward as a scorer and outside presence, and the defense has always been a part of his game.
Jarrett Allen, on the other hand, has been as dominant as usual as a rebounder, cleaning both sides of the glass and being a legitimate presence above the rim.
That’s why ESPN Cleveland’s Aaron Goldhammer believes the Cavaliers have four legitimate All-Stars on the roster.
Last year, the Cavs had four potential all stars. This year, they have four legitimate all stars.

Granted, Mobley and Allen aren’t posting All-Star-caliber numbers, at least not when compared to other players in the Eastern Conference.
Then again, if the Cavaliers keep this up and reach the All-Star break with the best record in the East, they could stand a chance.
They could be similar to the Atlanta Hawks team that, despite not having the most prominent names in the league, still had four All-Stars in one season.
Needless to say, the Cavaliers aren’t even thinking about that at the moment.
If anything, they want to keep building on this momentum and focus on the playoffs instead of any individual distinctions.
Still, it’s nice to see the team mesh so well.
They have looked on the verge of kicking down the door and making a run, and this might be the year they get it done.
