Cavs keep looking for a coach using the Nuggets assistant
A lot of woes need to be fixed within the Cleveland Cavaliers system. It all starts with finding the proper head honcho to replace JB Bickerstaff. A lot of names have surfaced with some having more acclaim than others. But, it looks like one promising candidate is about to make waves and position himself better than others. He goes by the name of David Adelman. His previous stint with the Denver Nuggets all but proves that he could be worthy of being the next mastermind to lead the Cavs squad that stars Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen.
The Cavs have officially acquired the permission to interview David Adelman, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. This great basketball mind is currently under the wing of Coach Mike Malone. He helped the Nuggets in their schemes and rotations en route to the 2023 NBA Championship where they made light work of their opponents.
He fits well with the Cavs given that their personnel mainly revolves around running halfcourt sets. In the past two seasons that David Adelman had with the Nuggets, they had a -1.0 and -1.7 pace. This gave them the ability to focus more on executing sets rather than forcing fastbreaks where everyone feels gassed. Another offensive philosophy that he has which aligns with this Cavs team is that they have good screen-setters. Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen know how to thrive setting picks up for guys like Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell.
