Garland was selected with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. He was seen as something of a risk that high in the draft due to his injury history and lack of consistent play at the collegiate level.
While he struggled in the NBA at first, he has since progressed into one of the most electric guards in the league. To make matters more exciting, it seems he is just starting to scratch the surface when it comes to his ample potential.
Luckily for the Cavs, Garland will now be in Cleveland for many more years to come.
