I’m not a huge Mitchell guy

But Garland/Mitchell/Okoro/Mobley/Allen

Yes please

Responding to both of you with the comment below:

Definitely great that the Cavs kept their 3 best players (Garland, Mobley, Allen). I also agree that the Cav's new lineup is good but it's weird to see 2 ball-dominant guards in the same starting line. I'd actually be interested to see one (probably D Mitchell) coming off the bench as the 6th man, although I know it won't happen.

I guess it's an interesting move to me because both Garland/Mitchell are small guards. I haven't seen enough of Garland to know how good he is defensively but I can't remember Mitchell being a good defensive player (albeit small sample size).
