With the team acquiring versatile role player Jae Crowder from the Celtics, the
Cavaliers have more lineup options than in previous seasons. The addition of
Dwyane Wade is likely causing a ripple effect as well, as he’s presumed to be a
starting guard next to Derrick Rose, neither of whom are three-point threats.
With spacing a concern, coach Lue may opt to start games with Love at center
while bringing Thompson off the bench to play with a unit more
perimeter-oriented. The situation is likely worth monitoring, as it could have a
significant impact on Thompson’s (and Love’s) fantasy value.
