#3 Cleveland Cavaliers likely to hand starting spots to Collin Sexton and Darius Garland

Collin Sexton will have a big role to play for the Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cleveland Cavaliers enter the new season in rebuild mode following an underwhelming 18-19 campaign that followed the departure of LeBron James. While the Cavs roster is still home to plenty of senior players, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com is reporting that the team will continue to look towards youth this season:

The Cavs will prioritize youngsters Sexton and Darius Garland - the likely starting backcourt. Jordan Clarkson is one of the team's most reliable scoring options and will get plenty of minutes off the bench. The means Knight will be battling Matthew Dellavedova for the other guard spot.

Sexton enjoyed a promising rookie season with the Cavs, while Garland was selected with the fifth pick earlier this summer. The Cavs' continued emphasis on youth could also see the likes of Kevin Love traded over the coming months.
