UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: CRAFTY BACKUP PG
Australian guard Matthew Dellavedova is one of the most annoying, yet effective, PG defenders in the league; undrafted outta St. Mary’s, Delly is a former “Summer League Guy” who worked to earn a spot; relative unknown before Cleveland’s title runs in 2015-2016 – made his mark as a defender & lob passer; competent set up man off the bench – nice lob passer, knows when and where to find teammates; decent shooter (though Delly’s form shouldn't be replicated) – jumper has crossed over into respectable range but don't expect huge points on a nightly basis; needs to work on efficiency between the lines; sells out for loose balls, mixes it up on D & causes controlled chaos; signed w/ Kings (2022) – veteran mentor/backup
