Matthew Dellavedova

Boobie wishes he had handles like Dellavedova.

All I have seen this scrub do against NBA quality players in pre-season is run around and try to not let the ball get stolen from him, and get the ball stolen from him.

Guy posted similar %s to what Keys probably would if you threw him out there:

24%/18%

Not with my bad elbow. Remember that Dellavedova just put there to be a shooting specialist, but I certainly agree that his shooting percentages are way below what I anticipated. If he wants to be a Cavalier this time next year, that has to change.

Looks like we've got us the makings of a long term bet. Ready to do this?

Nope, I've said from the beginning Aussie pants is probably keeping a seat warm for the Sacramento pick or a second rounder once Jack looks like he is reaching the Eric Snow stage of his career.

I'll take that bet. Delly has made a career surprising people. You don't shoot 38% from the arc through college in his 4 years if you cannot shoot. He has done it for the Aussie side and he'll do it for the Cavs.

The length + athleticism of nba players can affect people's shooting ability...I like this kid's toughness, IQ, and rebounding, but his lack of athleticism may negate his skill level

We're on the eve of Cavs basketball tipoff and one of our hottest topics is Dellavedova?

Man, this forum doesn't miss a thing.

If a third string point guard had no weaknesses in his game, he wouldn't be a third string point guard.

We already saw how the whole athleticism-but-no-IQ thing worked with Pargo. I don't wanna go down that road again. Delly seems like as good a fit as any as far as end-of-the-bench guards go.

It seems his contract went public this past weekend:

ATEST NEWS
RECENT NEWS
The Cavaliers signed rookie PG Matthew Dellavedova to a partially-guaranteed two-year deal this weekend.
The deal is worth $1.3 million but reportedly only $100k is guaranteed. He has yet to score in two brief appearances this year, but Mike Brown has raved about his leadership and values his presence on the practice court and in the locker room. Nov 10 - 10:04 AM
Source: Morning Journal

He also got playing time over Earl and Karasev... sounds like a classic Mike Brown message move, but Delly held it down.

Unsung hero for the night. His defense on Beal slowed him down after Beal got off to a very hot start. He also rebounded well, and got the offense jump started by pushing the ball on rebounds. Also his pick on the Kyrie 3pter in OT gave Kyrie a great look.

Keys, bask in the glory of your guy, he played a great floor game!

Re: Matthew Dellavedova

The Cavs don't win this game without him, period. His hustle was invaluable tonight.

Re: Matthew Dellavedova

Start Miles at the 3 and Jack can be back-up sg with dellydodongo as back up pg

problem solved

Should the cavs have kept Shaun Livingston? Bigger version, can do a lot of the same things.
