Darius Garland

Darius Garland is one of those players who makes you feel old in the best possible way — the guy was born in 2000 and is already one of the slicker point guards in the NBA. Growing up in Gary, Indiana, the same gritty steel-town that gave us Michael Jackson, and being the son of former pro Winston Garland, basketball was basically in his blood. He only played five games at Vanderbilt before a meniscus injury ended his college season early, yet Cleveland still took him fifth overall in 2019 — and he rewarded that faith by making the All-Star team in 2022. His handle is silky, his floater is disgustingly effective, and he can flip passes into angles most guards don't even see. Still only in his mid-twenties, the ceiling on this kid is genuinely exciting to think about.
