Max Strus' return to the Cleveland Cavaliers brings excitement but also presents coaching challenges. Coach Kenny Atkinson must navigate rotations and minutes, particularly with Isaac Okoro's strong performance in Strus' absence. The article explores the potential impact on players like Okoro, Caris LeVert, Sam Merrill, and Georges Niang.
Cleveland's sharpshooter was critical to its success last season, and Strus provides much-needed floor space for the starting lineup.
In Strus' absence, Atkinson has started Isaac Okoro, Dean Wade, and, at times, Georges Niang in his place. It's not as simple as just sliding Strus back into that starting lineup. Given how well he's played with that group this season, it would be hard to justify moving Okoro out of the starting lineup upon Strus' return.
