Cavs Bench

Bench play will be a major factor for both teams during the Finals.

Cavs veteran point guard Deron Williams, who is playing his 12th season in the league, will play in his first Finals this year and looks to play a significant role as the backup to Irving.

Midseason shooting guard acquisition Kyle Korver, as mentioned before, will need to take advantage of all his opportunities off the bench and be the top-tier three-point threat that Cleveland knows he is capable of being.

Frye and shooting guard Iman Shumpert, who should both see pivotal minutes off the bench during the Finals, will be responsible for keeping 2015 NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala and Golden State newcomer JaVale McGee in check on both offense and defense.
