State Of The Cleveland Cavaliers: The Point Guard Edition

Welcome to my official state of the Cleveland Cavaliers address.
This is the first article in a five part series that will break down the roster and outlook of the Cleveland Cavaliers now that the summer of 2010 is coming to a close.
The first position that I want to take a look at is point guard, and it is a position that has been overlooked to a certain extent in Cleveland during the LeBron James era.
The Cleveland Cavaliers currently have Mo Williams, Daniel “Boobie” Gibson, and the newly acquired Ramon Sessions at the point guard position on their depth chart.
When a team features a superstar like James, the team is normally orchestrated in the most part by that player, and the point guard plays an “off the ball” role.
Mo Williams
This has been the case in Cleveland, where the current starting point guard Mo Williams has primarily been reduced to a shooting role in Cleveland.
Before Williams came to Cleveland, he averaged at least 6 assists per game in three out of his four seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks.
The other season he only started 12 out of the 58 games he appeared in, and played 26.4 minutes per game.
Since coming over to Cleveland he has been a mainstay at the starting point guard position, but his assists have dropped to just 4.1 and 5.3 assists per game in his two years here.
