One of the things that makes the Cleveland Cavaliers so special is their depth.
While they obviously have one of the best starting fives in the league, their second unit is also incredibly impressive.
Caris LeVert has been a major part of the team’s bench for years and he has been shining brightly this season.
The team celebrated him on Saturday, referring to him as the “X-Factor.”
“Good luck solving him,” the post said.

During Friday’s win over the Dallas Mavericks, LeVert put up 17 points, four rebounds, and two assists.
That was a redemption game for him because he scored just three points a few nights before and only nine points in the game before that.
For the season, LeVert is averaging 11.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists.
This is now his fourth season in Cleveland and he has become a fan-favorite player and one of the crucial reasons the team is doing well.
A lot of attention goes to the players at the top of the roster, such as Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland.
But stars like LeVert make success possible, especially because they keep the team in good shape when the starters are resting.
They don’t allow opponents to gain ground and let the Cavaliers be competitive for all four quarters.
Nearly all of LeVert’s numbers have gone down a bit from last season but he is still having important games like on Friday.
Like the rest of the bench, LeVert is a big part of this team.
