![]() Nonetheless, just in a general sense, while perhaps Markkanen could end up starting at some point more regularly this season, if that’s the Cavs’ plan, for now, he’s the bench go-to guy. I’m sure Markkanen will still get his share of opportunities at the 3, either way, this season, and I get that, from a length perspective and the offensive end. ![]() He competes defensively, but him against 3s/wings on-ball is far from ideal in an actual regular season scenario for extended stretches, as he’s hardly Isaac Okoro as far as that goes, and it can cause issues defensively, in my opinion. Now, in fairness, with Kevin Love’s injury history, and with him not nearly the player he once was and set for a role reduction anyway, I’d expect Markkanen to play mostly at the 4 when he’s in there. In the preseason, while it has been just preseason so far, Markkanen did show how he’s a player that can create some for himself too, as has been shown throughout his career as well.Īlong with that, Markkanen has looked to be viable at the 3 position for the Cavs as a supersized 7-foot option, and him and #3 overall pick Evan Mobley have shown positive signs in relation to their chemistry.
