Cavs coach JB Bickerstaff says the competition to start at small forward this season will be about fit, and determining who is going to be the player who can do the most to accentuate what works for Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. – 5:36 PM
Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
Dave Joerger on @Joel Embiid:
“I’m very partial, but I think he should’ve won [MVP] the last two years.
I’ve coached against him as well, and he’s a problem. He’s a big problem.” – 5:26 PM

Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
Dave Joerger says Tyrese Maxey is among the fastest players he’s ever worked with, including De’Aaron Fox, who Joerger has also coached.
“Tyrese is on that level. Gotta say he’s one of the top three or four speed guys in the league.” – 5:21 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Danuel House Jr. is also expected to play, per Joerger – 5:21 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Dave Joerger says Tyrese Maxey reminds him, from a speed perspective, of De’Aaron Fox, his former point guard in Sacramento, and that he believes Maxey is one of the three or four fastest players in the league. – 5:21 PM

Joel Embiid does not sound like someone who is going to be campaigning for awards this season.
