Although Ty Jerome hardly played for the Cavs last season, the red-hot start Cleveland's guard has had this season shouldn't be a surprise.

Ty Jerome has been nothing short of sensational for the Cleveland Cavaliers this season. After missing most of last year due to an ankle injury, the Cavs guard has emerged as a critical bench contributor.

This has also been the case for the now 15-0 Cleveland Cavaliers, and for good reason. New head coach Kenny Atkinson is off to, by far, the best start in the history of the franchise. Darius Garland is making a strong case for his second All-Star appearance and has been the best closer in the NBA so far this season.
