Kay Felder

The Cavaliers aren’t known for developing young guys since they have LeBron, Kyrie, and Kevin Love on their team right now. So it makes sense that they’d only have one rookie on the team.

Surprisingly, Felder has played in 40 games this season, but the majority of the time, he wasn’t contributing many minutes. As a point guard, Kyrie and Deron Williams are ahead of him in the lineup, so he hasn’t been given too much time to advance his play.

When he did play, he averaged just over one assist per game, which probably isn’t quite the playmaker Lebron is looking for. There’s a good chance he won’t be seeing too much time for the remainder of the season and in the playoffs.
