Point Guards
The Cavs have veterans at the point guard position that don’t demand shots, which is good for them because the Cavs have enough scorers. Eric Snow will start again this season, but he’s just brings the ball up the court on offense, and plays good defense. Snow has only averaged 7.3 points in his career, which was mostly played with sidekick Allen Iverson. Snow is a decent shooter (42.7%), but his range doesn’t extend beyond the 3-point line. Snow does all of the little things that veterans know how to do to help win a game. He makes his free-throws (77.5%), dishes out assists (5.2 per game) and has averaged 1.2 steals per game for his career.
Damon Jones is the likely #2 point guard this season. Jones is a gunner, plain and simple. He likes to call himself “The Best Shooter on the Planet”. While that is not true, he has hit 38.6% of his three pointers for his career. The problem with him is that he’s content to just stand out by the 3-point line and wait for someone to throw him the ball. Jones has only averaged 6.8 points per game for his career and 3.1 assists. It seems often like he’s allergic to the key, almost like someone really fouled him hard a few times when he was young. He also can be abused by any big point guard that posts him up by the basket.
Second round pick Daniel Gibson is a player that the Cavs really like, but they probably will bring him along slowly as the Cavs are built to win now!
