Can the Cleveland Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen and Donovan Mitchell lead the charge? On today’s episode of Locked On Cavs, Danny Cunningham (@RealDCunningham) of 92.3 The Fan and Cleveland Magazine is joined by Jackson Flickinger (Fear The Sword) to discuss how the Cleveland Cavaliers are banking on Jarrett Allen to replicate his All-Star caliber performance from last season. With Allen and Donovan Mitchell's chemistry on the court, particularly their effective pick-and-roll game, the Cavs are poised for a strong season. However, questions linger about offensive spacing with Allen and Evan Mobley, neither known for their outside shooting. Will new coach Kenny Atkinson push Allen to expand his shooting range? Meanwhile, Dean Wade's defensive prowess is highlighted, though his offensive involvement remains a topic of discussion.
