The Cleveland Cavaliers are really deep at point guard heading into 2011-12
32-year old Baron Davis will likely be the starting point guard for the Cavaliers when the 2011-12 season starts. He played in 58 games (44 starts) for the Cavaliers & Clippers last year and he averaged 28.4 minutes, 13.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Davis has now played in 806 games (678 starts) so far in his NBA career and he is averaging 34.7 minutes, 16.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game. 25-year old Ramon Sessions played pretty well in his first year with the Cavaliers, but he’s likely to get dealt before the 2011-12 season begins. Sessions played in 81 games (38 starts) for the Cavs last year and he averaged 26.3 minutes, 13.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. He has now played in 239 games (85 starts) in his first four years in the NBA and he is averaging 25.1 minutes, 11.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. 19-year old rookie Kyrie Irving will likely be doing a lot of learning in 2011-12. I look for him to backup Baron Davis this year and then taking over as the starter in 2012-13. The Cavaliers are confident that Irving is going to be the real deal.
