For a still-growing NBA stud, the third season is the charm. It is then that a young player usually makes a significant leap, and if that holds true for Kyrie Irving, the impressive haul that the Cleveland Cavaliers have reeled in this past summer may put them in the playoffs for the first time in the post-LeBron James era.
If the newly signed Andrew Bynum can stay healthy, he and Irving can form one of the Eastern Conference’s best tandems, and with combo guard Jarrett Jack and promising forward Earl Clark joining them, optimism reigns for the young Cavaliers. If Dion Waiters and Tristan Thompson make even marginal strides in their respective games, the Cavs may be one of the surprise teams of 2013-14.
