The rookie point guard has appeared in 36 games for the Cavaliers this season
and is averaging 4.1 points in 9.6 minutes per game, but he’s mostly played out
of necessity, as the team’s lack of depth behind starting point guard Kyrie
Irving has forced Felder into more run with the second unit than the
organization probably intended. It appears that the Cavaliers may soon be less
reliant on Felder, however, as the team is believed to be the frontrunner to
sign veteran point guard Deron Williams, who was waived by the Mavericks on
Thursday. If Williams indeed clears waivers and latches on with the Cavaliers as
their primary backup point guard, Felder could end up seeing extended time at
the D-League level over the final month and a half of the regular season.
